    Greetings. My name is Anis. I'll be glad to help you today.

    There is no such Windows OS called "Windows XP Horror Edition" and from what we observed, this is malware and dangerous. You should not download it. Moreover, Support for Windows XP is also ended.

    If you have already download the malware and it's making the PC malfunction, you may have to factory reset the PC.

    Steps to Reset the PC:

    When you restart your PC, press and hold the Shift key while you select Power > Restart.

    It will take you to the Windows Recovery Environment.

    Once in Windows RE, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC > System Restore

    Choose "Keep Files" from the options and proceed.
