I got locked out of my own laptop
So at the first my laptop was extremely slowing down time to time, which is a early sign of malware or a virus on your computer, but at the first i didn’t pay much attention to it because my laptop was obviously old and low end.
But when my task manger and startup settings started crushing as soon as i was trying to enter them, and only those 2 specific locations, so i fugured it’s either Windows system crupted or somone have gained access to my laptop and is trying to stop me from entering the task manger and startup setting since that’s where malware files can be seen put on startup and can see them work in the background in the task manger if there is any on your computer.
So I figured I need to deep clean my laptop or confirm if there’s a malware on my laptop or is it just windows getting overwhelmed, so I did what any other person in 2026 would do go to a AI and ask them what could be the problem or how to confirm if it’s a malware or windows crupting.
I asked multiple AIs like Chatgdp, Claude but the last AIs advice literally locked me out of my laptop it was Gemini it told me with a straight face to click Window + R and write misgent click and then click disable all services in the services section and then restart your laptop.
So that’s what I did and when my laptop restarted and when I tried to login to my account it said “your pin isn’t available setup a new pin” and when I try to setup a new pin it says you can’t setup a new pin since this service is disabled so I went to the windows troubleshot window and tried everything safe mode, trying to get access to cdm nothing worked they all ask for password and none of my passwords work anymore I went to I tried everything and every “tutorial” video but none of them work since it asks for password for most of the options and none of my passwords work.
And i still can’t figure out why in the hell disabling all service and restart is even a option if it completely locks you out of your computer without even a warning. it’s crazy how Windows doesn’t even give you a warning or even a official fixing tutorial, because this can happen to anyone.
If there’s any way out of this problem, please write it down below because I can’t afford losing all my hard working projects and years of work.
