Can I use the ' reset to factory settings '' option in Windows 10 to remove a Bitcoin virus?
That can help, if it's really a virus, it probably isn't enough.
Ufff you don't know if he can bridle your bios but try if he can bridle your nios then it doesn't help much anyway
Best formatting yes I know reinstall everything. 😭
We're now at Windows 10 2004.
So if I boot up the laptop but do not log in, everything is normal, as soon as I log in the laptop becomes extremely hot and you can hear and feel the fans, after a short time the laptop switches off and then on again… I had something installed recently… Probably a btc miner virus
I recommend creating a Kaspersky Rescue USB Bootstick. This also gets rid of extremely stubborn pests. Even those that can't be removed while Windows is running. It also eliminates ad and malware. And this is how you do it:
Download Kaspersky Rescue Disk ISO: https://support.kaspersky.com/de/viruses/krd2018
Then write the ISO with Rufus https://rufus.ie/ on an empty formatted USB stick.
Simply boot the created stick and follow the instructions of the assistant.
If that doesn't help either, I recommend reinstalling Windows 10 cleanly. It works like this:
Download the Media Creation Tool from the Microsoft website. You can use it to create a Windows 10 USB boot stick. The Media Creation Tool also packs the updates onto the stick.
Simply boot the created stick on the laptop and follow the instructions of the installation wizard. It offers the possibility to delete everything. The laptop is restarted several times during installation.
After completing the installation and starting Windows 10 for the first time, it will automatically be reactivated. The product key that is permanently integrated in the BIOS is automatically adopted.
The last step is to go to the laptop manufacturer's website. Download and install the drivers there. The drivers are simply installed with a double click.
The Windows 10 USB boot stick should be kept safe for emergencies.
Yes ok then I would recommend you to reinstall Windows via a USB stick because few viruses can do something about it
Is it not enough to reset to factory settings if I do not keep the personal data?
I'll put it this way: There are pests that can't be removed by resetting them. That is why a clean new installation is always the best.
