What is going on with my computer forcing open a random YouTube page on startup?

Hey Microsoft Community - help!

I've reinstalled something from an old old laptop, only to find out it's causing my computer to be very... odd.

Now, when I start my computer up, Google Chrome is force opening itself to a random YouTube page. I've deleted and uninstalled the app, ran a Malwarebytes scan (nothing caught), made sure Chrome can't open at startup, etc. I also uninstalled Chrome and it forced open Microsoft Edge; a second time, asking how I'd "like to run this."

I also have a weird new thing on my right-click menu:

I'd really appreciate if I could get some help here! Thanks in advance.

    Kindly try to perform system restore on your windows computer and select a date where windows is still working fine

    Oh my gosh, it WORKED!

    The menu is gone and whatever was causing the internet to force open has stopped! I've also purged the download files that I think may have cause it from my computer entirely.

    Thank you so so much for your help! I promise to be better about files like that next time!
