Hello,

Following a CCleaner clean, I can no longer use my PC (Windows 11)... When I start, I have a black window telling me to download the latest version of PowerShell, some icons no longer open, I can’t access my settings etc. Apparently Winget has also been removed, I tried to reset the PC but nothing at all... I don’t know much, can you please help me

    Hello,

    Manually turning the PC on and off by holding the power button may be done up to 3 times in a row, then turning it back on to start in Recovery mode

    To go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > System Restore

    Select another restore point...

    As far back as possible if it doesn’t affect your installed programs too much.

        If impossible, try in Troubleshooting > Advanced options > Safe Mode with Networking

        Back up your data, to get started.

        Hello,

        By the way, it seems to me that even under Windows 11 Winget remains optional and has no reason to be uninstalled if it wasn’t voluntarily installed beforehand.

        A PowerShell script will always offer its update at launch, which, in principle, we treat with contempt: the new version does not install in place but in addition, and it presents no interest for the current user.

        There is also no reason in these conditions for the PC at startup to launch a PowerShell script whose purpose we do not know and which itself will fail by launching a Winget command, even though it would not be installed.

        It would be interesting, if Windows access remains maintained to some extent, to locate this script via, for example, Autoruns, and to see “what it is talking about”; a malicious script cannot be ruled out.
