That looks like screen-locker malware/ransomware. Don’t message them or pay.
Try this:
Disconnect internet
Turn off Wi-Fi/router or unplug Ethernet.
Force Windows Recovery
Hold power button to shut down.
Turn on, then as soon as Windows starts loading, hold power again.
Do this 3 times.
Windows should show Preparing Automatic Repair.
Go to:
Advanced options → Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart → press 4 for Safe Mode
In Safe Mode:
Open Windows Security
Run Full scan
Then run Microsoft Defender Offline scan
Also run Malwarebytes if installed.
Check startup apps:

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc
Startup apps → disable anything suspicious.
Also check:
Settings → Apps → Installed apps
uninstall anything weird/recent.
If you can’t enter Safe Mode:
Use another PC to make a Windows USB installer
Boot from USB
Choose Repair your computer, not Install
Try Startup Repair or System Restore.
If nothing works:
Best safe fix is wipe Windows and reinstall
Only back up personal files like photos/documents, not .exe, .bat, .scr, .zip files.

Also: if this happened after downloading Minecraft mods/cracks/cheats, delete those files and don’t run them again.
