Windows 11 Possibly Hacked?

[vjc34683]

When I go to restart my PC, I get a blue window (not bsod) indicating that 2 apps are restarting. It gives two buttons below that are "Restart anyway" and "Cancel"



Above that, it lists two apps. The one looks like an "Explorer" session with the folder-spec
D:\audio\Documentation



The one that concerns me leads me to believe it is a virus. The name of the app is "t". I try to go in and search for the process "t", but cannot find it in Task Viewer. I could not find a "T.exe" on my hard disk. The only thing that comes close is the app "Telegram.exe" . But nonetheless, the screen displays "t" with no file extension listed as one of the two apps still open when trying to close.



I have tried using "Process Explorer" to look for this anomaly, but cannot find anything. I am really worried that my system is infected somehow. I am using BitDefender as my A/V and feel pretty comfortable with it. I have also searched my system with MalwareBytes and both scans have come up clean.



I welcome any help that can be offered. Of course, I could just re-install and I am OK with that. I would just like to know what this app "t" is.



TY,

Vince Caruso

Windows 11 does not require 3rd party antivirus since Windows Security can take care of everything .. I suggest to uninstall any 3rd party antivirus and try if same thing happens ..

I understand your concern about the mysterious "t" app. Since you cannot find any process or file named "t" on your system, it's possible this is just a temporary issue related to the restart process. I would recommend running a full system scan with your antivirus software just to be safe, but it may not indicate anything serious. If the scans come back clean, you can likely just proceed with restarting your PC.
