    So it all started roughly 2 weeks ago when I was playing a game and all of a sudden my entire laptop turned off. Just out of the blue. Then i tried to turn it on and it kept showing BSOD with the error code "Inaccesible Boot Device". So I just reinstalled windows 11 OS again from an extrenal pendrive. Laptop booted succesfully this time and I continued using it.However, every now and then something weird happens like:- Often times entire drive partitions would just disappear and the explorer would only show C drivewhere the current OS is installed. Restarting the laptop would fix it but it w

    PC acting weird

    Pc acting weird

    Most of the time my pc works flawless but without any warning it start to act super weird and always the same things.

    Mousewheel stops working

    Some buttons don’t work - W or D for example

    Chrome tries to open a new window instead of the normal process or just a tab

    Mouse tries to highlight everything

    When I turn it off/restart it shows the blue Window Screen with

    Choose option

    After restarting it acts normal or does the weird stuff again after some seconds/minutes.

    Things I tried:

    Restarting

    Virus/Malware Scan

    Unplugging Keyboard/Mouse etc…

    I’m kind of a pc noob ans don’t know what to do here.

    First I thought ita the Wootility program - belongs to the wooting60he a keyboard but after shutting it down nothing changed.

    What can I do? I really don’t want to reset everything especially since most of the time he acts normally.

    Help please.

    Will a PC with malware affect all linked accounts?

    "Will a PC with malware affect all linked accounts?"

    If it's really malware, you have to presume that it will, and it has. We don't know what type of malware is involved, or even if it really is malware in the first place. (The Mum only 'thinks' she has malware or a virus on her PC.)

    Most people do not appreciate how sophisticated and crafty malware can be. Once a computer has been compromised by malware, it can no longer be trusted. You have to immediately stop using the computer and deal with the problem.

    So the first step is to determine whether the PC has, in fact, been affected by malware.
