Ok, I have a windows 10 PC problem. Its either malware or a virus or whatever else there is. Antivirus didn't catch it. It wont let you open your start menu or search with cortana. After a while even the mouse stops working. I tried to press shift then restart from the login to do a system restore, reset, everything. It blue screens after about 5 seconds saying WDF_VIOLATION. Do any of you have a idea. Also I lost the windows repair disc.

It tells you that it will boot from PXE - the network.
Try to get in BIOS by pressing a function key (see your manual) just after startup (in POST Power On System Test) and disable the netwerk boot

I got a windows recovery drive, it booted instantly into it (I thought was unusual) I then tried a hard reset and it says "unable to reset your pc. the system drive cannot be found" then during a refresh it says the drive is locked. I tried some commands on prompt like chkdsk v: /R and it didn't work either
