    It changes name every time I open the Startup list. I am perplexed.

    Update: It has disappeared before I got the chance to turn it off. What should my next steps be?

    Uninstall it, reinstall windows, scan your computer

    Clean install your windows this is the only way to get rid of it completely.

    Give a shot to malwarebytes and full offline Windows defender scan

    Run a scan with rkill and Malwarebytes. These 2 never failed me

    There’s no way I wouldn’t format the whole drive and made a fresh windows install after seeing something like this.

    It’s not Chinese. It’s Garbled characters

    Nuke the system, someone probably put malware on your system using a vulnerability in Vanguard.

    Reinstall windows , if something penetrated your startup . It for sure modified your registry , which means your recovery drive is also compromised .

    Reinstall windows using your cd , or usb or any other external way. Do not just reinstall windows from your recovery partition.

    When I got my Chinese made GPD Win 4 I knew I wasn’t going to log in with the OS already installed, NOPE. It was a clean install for me. Even if you have to install the drivers later on.

    You just never know what they could have loaded into the OS from the start. I get that you can install side loaded software too, but I preferred doing a clean install anyway.

    I had the exact same thing, when I tried to remove it it also removed the windows boot command. Shit is definitely malware

    Time to wipe the drive and fresh Install your os. There’s no point in trying to fix it. But revo Uninstaller is a really great tool.

    If you find it in the startup tab from task manager, then you can right click it and get to properties or “open file location” to get the full path and probably know more about the software.

    You could also submit the .exe to something like virustotal

    Let’s figure out what wallpaper that is

    this is a time you need to reformat the drive and reinstall windows. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT reinstall onedrive and “settings from last installation”

    OR

    You might just reinstall this backdoor of whatever kind it is lol

    Someone failed their cyber security awareness courses….

    Ik everyone is suggesting you wipe your pc, but to be sure, maybe you should run HitManPro in offline mode to see if it detects anything.

    Do a complete clean reinstall. Change your passwords and you should be safe. (99.99%)
