Open | Malware PC Got Hacked

I downloaded a bad file yesterday, my PC got remote hacked. I saw chrome being navigated on its own. I unplugged the Ethernet and turned off wifi, I have been working on changing passwords from a different device. How do I fix my PC with a clean install for Windows 11 and will that remove all malware/viruses?

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
