Since my laptop was infected by a virus, I carried out a system restore yesterday (i.e. Where the pc is set up but all data remains saved). The laptop itself is very slow and, for example, takes 1 minute to open firefox.
I did that recovery yesterday, but it's still not done after almost 20 hours. What should I do now?
Make him flat and play again.
Restart it and see what happens…
If you're lucky, it wouldn't even come to the formation of your boat folder, so it should start up normally.
Then save all data on an external disk and then format the disk via CD Setup and reinstall Windows.
What does system manufacturing do for you if you keep the virus?
or did you take it, where you then also reset Windows etc. Then the hard drive has only Windows on it in the end.
the second can take so long with a PC. My PC, where all the usual programs can still run smoothly, also takes around 5 hours to restore the system.
The virus may still be on the hard drive and block recovery.
I would reinstall Windows.
Note: Delete the Windows.old folder immediately after the new installation because it may be that the virus is still there.
When I read the first one, it's really blatant that a virus can block something like that
Yes they really can.
20 hours? Something went wrong.
Create a Windows 10 USB stick with another computer (Media Creation Tool)
And boot from the stick and reinstall Windows 10.
