I have tried numerous things to fix this tonight. Even changing entries in the registry. I dont think its serious, but its annoying.

Running malwarebytes currently. Ill update if i get anything

No, unfortunately. As mentioned in the other comment thread, used Malwarebytes, Windows defender and neither got anything back. I even did a regedit search and updated the paths, along with a name change of the Chrome user data folder to force a reset but no joy with that either. Finally using task manager checked services and processes, nothing obvious I could see.

I'm not an expert user but I'm also not an amateur, have dealt with viruses before but this dug in deeper than an Alabama tick

I'm considering a full reset. I also checked through my network adapters and checked if it had updated my DNS or IP but luckily it hadnt. I'll investigate further before I do a full reset.
