windows 10 22h2 all items exe change to .Lnk

[ultra_seyed]

Hello 

today, when i turned on the computer-  i encountered a strange scene - all the executive programs and control panel have been converted to "" LNK format ""  the start menu - toolbar and search are not working - even all the printers in the control panel were deleted with anti virus support company - i called - after a long investigation - they announced that this problem is not due to a malware attack and that the windows registry has been damaged -  is this correct ? is there really a problem with the Windows registry ? and there was no cyber attack

thank you all for helping me

Have you already performed a full device scan using Kaspersky?

You can also try using KVRT to find possible malware → KVRT

You can also take a look at this Microsoft thread about this problem, but I advise you to use Kaspersky for the full scan → answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/several-exe-files-changed-to-lnk-files/9e22f491-8a0a-4fd8-8bd5-832356394e51

Also , do you have a valid restore point ?

Hum... looks like an old typical virus that come to the system via infected USB external pen drive.

 

Go to your system Folder Options, and enable the settings: Show protected files, folders, and units/devices that are hidden.

 

And disable: Hide protected operating system files.

 

Then you have to apply in command terminal (cmd.exe) this:

 

ATTRIB /d /s -r -h -s *.*

 

To all the affected folders.

 

Here is a guide, but in Spanish, You can translate into English.

 

Also disable in Your Windows, Autoplay for external devices:
