I don't see any threats for now in my windows 10 defender, But i don't feel comfortable as  I've found some earlier. I'm thinking for formatting the drive and changing the Microsoft account.

Does this method work? If any suggestions please don't mind suggesting me. Thank you

Run MalwareBytes from https://www.malwarebytes.com/ to start. If you're still not convinced that the malware is gone after running Malwarebytes, do the following:

  1. Grab Autoruns from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
  2. Run Autoruns.exe
  3. Wait for the list to finish populating, this can take up to 30 seconds
  4. Press CTRL+S and save the .arn file
  5. Reply with the .arn file attached

This will show me a list of programs that run when you start your computer.

1) You dont need to change MS accounts. If you feel its been compromised then you should change your password and use 2FA. 

2) Formating the drive would be a last resort, generally. 

3) As mentioned above, Malwarebytes. Use it in conjunction with MS defender. IF you want to you may download a better Anti Virus. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
