Hello,

Try this 1.

1) When you switch ON your computer, start tapping the "F8" key to get

"Windows Advanced Options"( if boot menu appears, press "Esc" key

and keep tapping the F8 key)

2) Select "Safe Mode"

3) Click on Start --> In search box, type regedt32 and press Enter.

Click on "Yes". "Registry Editor" will be opened.

Navigate to the following location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

At the right side, find the strings shell & userinit and check the

following

shell value data should be Explorer.exe

userinit value data should be C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

If shell and userinit are having different data values then change it as

mentioned above.

Just double click shell and userinit and enter the data values as

shell --> "Value data" should be
Explorer.exe

userinit --> "Value data" should be
C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

Note: there is "," at the end of userinit.exe

4) Click on the below hyperlink "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free" and

download free version.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free

Install it --> Make sure you uncheck the option

"Enable free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Premium
" --> Update it and perform "Full Scan".

Good Luck
