Dear Microsoft Support Team,

Yesterday, I encountered a sudden problem on my laptop, where I saw a pop-up message indicating that a certain file was missing, but I didn't understand what it was. After the message appeared, I experienced some oddities where my File Explorer took an unusually long time to load, and I couldn’t perform certain functions or access some systems or applications. For example, I couldn’t find “Virus and Threat Protection” because a message stated that my IT administrator had set access restrictions, preventing me from accessing it.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance and assistance in resolving this issue. If you require any further information or if you have any specific troubleshooting steps that you recommend, please let me know. I'm eager to restore the functionality of my laptop and ensure its stability.

    Hi Glenn Ananta

    These symptoms show a virus infection, partially removed by antivirus.

    My sincere advice is save your important data and reinstall from scratch.

    It looks like there's a scheduled task left over from some removed malware and the malware has set some policies to compromise the computer. To fix the problem and check for any further malware, please provide Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) logs for analysis.

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

    Note: If you are using Edge or Chrome, SmartScreen may initially block the download. Click on the three dots next to the warning and select Keep => Show more => Keep anyway.

    • If your computer's language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe
    • Run the tool, leave the default settings, and press Scan.
    • Zip the logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, then upload to a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive or gofile.io
    • Post the share link.

    • Download Fixlist.txt and save it in the folder where FRST64.exe is located.
    • Close any apps with unsaved work.
    • Run FRST64.exe and click "Fix".
    • The computer will reboot to complete the process.

    Please upload Fixlog.txt so I can check if further action is required.
