    Random File Encryption


    Hi guys, just joined because I'm having W10 issues.

    My computer started to randomly encrypt files, where I would have to manually decrypt them via the properties. Only issue now is that it says I have no admin rights, whereas before it was decrypting fine....

    Here is my pictures folder, I did not encrypt these files and folders myself, and I can't open them now.

    Please help! I don't wanna lose my files!

    Did you scan with a combination of an Antivirus and Malwarebytes? If so, which AV?

    Hi. You need to disconnect that system from the internet immediately, and shut it down, in case you have contracted a ransomware.
    Then you need to show file extensions to see what they are. Well, copy one and display it on another system, showing file extensions....
