PC Stuck in a Restart Loop

[HellChranos]

So, I wanted to take security more seriously and hence wanted an AV for my system.

My friend told me this is what he does:

1. Run Malwarebytes

2. Run AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes

3. Run HitmanPro

4. Run Anti-Rootkit by Malwarebytes

So, I started doing the same. I ran Malwarebytes and it detected a few "Unwanted files" and I cleaned them.

Then, AdwCleaner did its thing and said the system needs to restart. So, I did it.

 

But then, as soon as it started it started behaving oddly. Boot times were much longer, I had to input the password 2-3 times before "Welcome" (It didn't even show 'Wrong password') and then as soon as I got in, Windows said "Your PC will restart in one minute. Close this window and save all you r work." and it has been doing this ever since. I have attached the AdwCleaner log file for reference. It has a list of the deleted files, few of which are Registry files.

 

I was able to get into startup repair screen and here's what I have tried so far:

 

1. System Restore to previous point. - there were no points to restore

2. Going back to previous version of Windows - Failed

3. Running automatic Startup Repair - No luck

4. The command sfc /scannow (System file check) - No errors detected

5. The #2 of this guide.

6. Ofcourse, I removed the AdwCleaner.exe by booting into Safe Mode.

7. Tried the Ccleaner registry cleaning tool.

 

System Reset is the last thing I want to do.

Thanks for reading. Any help will be REALLY appreciated.

boot from the same build of W10 from a USB drive and try repairing, if that doesnt work you might have to reinstall windows.

OOF

 

LOL, although I ran it in safe mode without networking and that too for like 5 minutes. So, I don't think that'll be a concern. Besides, I've got bigger problems to worry about right now.
