Welcome:  :)
 
I'll be helping you with your computer.
 
Please read this post completely before beginning. If there's anything that you do not understand, please don't hesitate to ask before proceeding.
 
Please take note of the guidelines for this fix:

  • Please note that I am a volunteer. I do have a family, a career, and other endeavors that may prevent immediate responses that meet your schedule. Do note that the differences in time zones could present a problem as well. Your patience and understanding will be greatly appreciated.
  • First of all, the procedures we are about to perform are specific to your problem and should only be used on this specific computer.
  • Do not make any changes to your computer that include installing/uninstalling programs, deleting files, modifying the registry, nor running scanners or tools of any kind unless specifically requested by me.
  • Please read ALL instructions carefully and perform the steps fully and in the order they are written.
  • If things appear to be better, let me know. Just because the symptoms no longer exist as before, does not mean that you are clean.
  • Continue to read and follow my instructions until I tell you that your machine is clean.
  • If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask before performing the task that I ask of you, and please wait for my reply before you proceed.
  • Scanning with programs and reading the logs do take a fair amount of time. Again, your patience will be necessary.  :)

Let's begin... 

Download AV block remover, extract its contents to its own folder.

  • If the file is detected as a threat, allow it to run.
  • Turn off the Realtime Protection of your Security Programs.
  • Run AVbr.exe. Put a check mark on drive C:.
  • If running AVbr.exe cause error or don't start at all you have to rename it to any name and try to run from the different place (you can rename its folder as well).
  • If it is still not run or closing shortly after the start, please run it in Safe Mode with Networking.

Follow the instructions. After rebooting a log AV_block_remove_date-time.log  is produced in the extracted folder's AV_block_remover sub-folder. Please attach this file to your reply.

Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system.
You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit

  • Please rename FRST.EXE or FRST64.EXE to FRSTEnglish.exe
  • After renaming the file right-click over FRSTEnglish.exe and select "Run as administrator"
  • When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer if this is the first time using the tool
  • Make sure there is a check mark in the Addition.txt check box
  • Press the Scan button.
  • It will make a log FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from. Please attach both logs to your next reply.

Windows 10 Enterprise is a specialized edition of the Windows 10 operating system designed to meet the needs of large and midsize organizations. It should not be in a home-based computer. It is no active, and it will never be unless hacked.

I cannot provide you support on this version of Windows.

 

There is a good deal for Windows 11 Pro here:
