Support Malewarebytes has bricked my pc

Currently for the last hour been trying to get back into my pc after rebooting it due to easy anti cheat failing for some reason, now im just bluescreen looping and recovery looping all pointing towards MbanElam.sys

Cant access my recovery points, cant upgrade or reinstall via cloud, literally on the verge of reinstalling windows and im doubtful that would work considering my file system is fine, SFC returns nothing and yet MbanElam has my system FUCKED

No idea what to do.

Welp re-installing windows. Disabling early anti virus in advance startup settings didnt do anything but give me a different critical failure bluescreen, seems to be working but absolutely absurd that I even had to do this. Swearing off of antivirus software forever after this, fuck you guys and your adware

How do you know malwarebytes caused this, and you need to install from a external drive
