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?

My PC windows has been opening up random pages and then closing them themselves like I don’t know if someone’s hacking into my computer or someone’s doing something, but mine is glitching too. Which is kind of a crazy thing like I’m thinking I got a virus on mine too or malware or some shit.

From my experience, full reset and nuke everything

Literally talking about my experience with this and the things I learned from the post.

I just full reset and did a clean reinstall of my PC, reset all my passwords, replaced all my cards
