I suggest turning off fast startup in Windows. Then restart.

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/turn-on-or-off-fast-startup-in-windows-11.1212/

After doing the above.

Please do the following Uninstall and reinstall using the Malwarebytes Support Tool

Please close all browsers and programs before running the tool. Right click and quit MB from the system tray also.

Once done it will attempt to reinstall both Malwarebytes and Privacy VPN.

Please say no and close the X button on the top right for Privacy.
