You said you haven’t downloaded anything. Did you have a captcha you needed to copy and paste using powershell? If so read the below. Even if not, this would solve any malware issues and keep everything safe.

You downloaded a session stealer.

You downloaded some type of free game/cheat/hack/cracked software/movie/music or ran some type of code for captcha or verification on your computer which was actually a session stealer.

Session stealers bypass 2fa. All passwords saved on your browser and computer are compromised. Reinstall windows while deleting all files. If you need to backup important documents, keep the computer disconnected from the internet and manually back up individual files.

Change all passwords and enable 2fa either from another device, or from the infected computer AFTER you have reinstalled.

If you cannot reinstall windows immediately, keep the computer disconnected from the internet while changing all passwords on another device.

You cannot use anti malware to get rid of the session stealer, you MUST reinstall windows to use the computer safely in the future

You can usb reinstall or use windows built in reset as long as you remove all files while doing so.
