So I just got my new ASUS ROG Strix yesterday and today, foolishly enough, I tried to download a video game torrent. It turned out to contain some malware, which my anti-virus detected and I asked for my anti-virus to put the malicious files in quarantine-mode (or whatever it's called). Anywho, right as I did that, I went for the system recovery and chose "remove all files and wipe the computer" option. Everything worked fine up until now, the recovery has been stuck at 34% for about an hour. All it says is "recovering this PC 34%", with the dots spinning around. So the screen isn't entirely frozen (dots are moving around, indicating the machine is working) but it's been stuck on 34%.
Worth mentioning is that my machine has an SSD (128gb) and HDD (1tb) and the game I downloaded was in my D: drive, i.e. on my HDD.
second question
I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 10. I keep getting error messages like below. In Services there must be a lot that are disabled but I cannot get into Services to correct the problems.
Network errors
Windows cannot access C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
Windows cannot access C:\Windows\regedit.exe
Windows cannot access C:\Windows\system32\services.msc
an unspecified error occurred during system restore in safe mode.
When I go to system restore in Recovery in the control panel, I get System Restore could not start.
Any way I can fix this? Thank you.
