[QUOTE="Intel_iRIS81, post: 524943, member: 53174"] I have been battling this for 3 days now on my 3 off days and I've exhausted the tools and tactics to rid my system of the problem. Every once in a while in various folders or settings in Windows 10 I see copied users. Like a duplicate of my windows user but with a red x through it on a certain folder that shows special permissions. Any type of setting in a program or system setting shows its greyed out. The greyed out settings are the ones that let me change things. Luckily UAC is still at the top of the aggressive setting. I have been using Ethernet only but 3-4 days ago I was trying to send a file from my PC to phone. So wifi was turned on. The next day 3 days ago I saw some weird adjustments in that remote desktop was turned on. Something with home group. Can't remember exactly but all of that was turned off immediately. Since than my PC hasn't allowed me to do anything as far as making changes to anything. The PC runs great except that its using 60-70% ram almost all the time no matter what. Even after a reboot. Random things were checked or unchecked. Cortana was off entirely but I can't change the settings but off and on like most other settings now. I was prepared for a full clean install as my files/media are backed up in the cloud. Found out during the process of thinking it was a update issue or hard drive failure that my BIOS is really outdated. It is a 3 year old Laptop and its supposed to be 100% up to date on drivers but BIOS I guess didn't get updated. So that might be part of the problem on slow restart or reboot or even security. I'm terrified to update the BIOS with the issues because of this malware effects the bootup and BIOS doesn't update I end up with a brick. I just downloaded the Kaspersky rescue disk in hopes that finds issues and I can continue with the process of the usual tools. FRST and Addition logs are attached below.
