    This should sort things for you.

    • Download Fixlist.txt and save in your Downloads folder
    • Run FRST64.exe and click "Fix"
    • Allow the computer to reboot to complete the procedure

    Please upload the resulting log file (Fixlog.txt).

    
Let me know if you intentionally have **test signing** turned on?

It can be turned off from an admin instance of Command Prompt:

    bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF

    To check for malware, please run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) and share your logs.

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

    • If your computer language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe
    • Run FRST and press "Scan"
    • Two logs are created in the folder that FRST is run from, FRST.txt and Addition.txt
    • Upload the logs to OneDrive, Google Drive or any file sharing service and post the share link

    **If you are downloading FRST with Edge, smartscreen may initially block it.

       Click on the 3 dots next to the warning and select Keep-> Show more-> Keep anyway.

    Hello Shaiful, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I'm here to help with your questions or issues. Just note – this is a place where passionate Microsoft users help each other, we don't work directly for Microsoft.

    About your issue, coinminers can be quite persistent, and you might need to take more thorough steps to remove them. You've already taken some good measures, but let's try an additional approach:

    Download and install Kaspersky TDSSKiller to search for any rootkits that might be hiding deeper. You can get it from this link: https://usa.kaspersky.com/content/custom/global...

    Please let me know if it detects anything.
