HELP! Nuked my PC but Trojan returned

I know this problem shows up every once in a while but I really need Help!!

I fell for the Fake Captcha (windows + r, ctrl + v) infostealer a few days ago... I managed to change all my passwords on a clean device right away and turned on 2FA on everything. So far all my accounts are ok and show no suspicious activity.

I sent the infected PC to a technician who has helped me before to nuke my PC and do a fresh windows reinstall as recommended, he did backup my files only pictures and .docx, .xls and .pdf before nuking it

Installed windows again and uploaded the files.

I got my PC back, turned it on and BEFORE i logged on any accounts on that PC, I did a Microsoft Defender full scan and found these:

HackTool:BAT / AutoKms

Trojan:Win32/Leonem

I found out that the hacktool was probably used to start windows on my PC... but what worries me is Leonem, I found out it is a spyware/infostealer. Since I have not accessed any accounts on that PC after changing my passwords, I assume that it is OK(?) But I'm still very anxious

WHAT SHOULD I DO??? HELP!

It keeps coming back

So yesterday i downloaded KMSpico from a bad source and i got a malware that hacked all of my gaming accounts (riot games, discord, steam, epic games, ea) it had access to my gmail and put extensions on both google chrome and microsoft edge i tried getting rid of the malware by using malware bytes and deleting the browsers extensions yet the malware kept coming back so eventually i installed a new windows (deleting the C partition and creating a new one) and when i setup my windows and all was well i received an email saying that someone is trying to open my microsoft account and then when I opened Edge i noticed that it has two weird extensions so i ran malware bytes again to find out that the malware is back I have no idea what to do now and i lowkey dont wanna format my whole pc
