    Hi and Welcome to Computer Help Forums.

    Try to boot into Safe Mode tapping F8 on boot continually.
    Try "Last known good configuration" first and see if that works.
    If that doesn't work.
    If you can, select "Safe Mode with Networking"
    Download and install "Malwarebytes Free" and run a full scan.
    This will take some time to scan. Let us know what it finds.
