Need windows 11 help! SOLVED!! [View all]

I finally got it to run long enough to reset Windows 11. I'll have to reinstall several apps but the user data is unharmed.

====

I've been using 11 for some time with no problems. I installed Malware Bytes and shortly after it began using 95% memory and sometimes 90% processor. I un-installed Malware. Everything was cool until I shut it down for the night. Next morning it wouldn't boot. Did a hard reboot three times to enter automatic repair. It worked I thought. Shut down again and in the morning it would not boot.

Repeated the automatic repair and attempted too save files and re-set through the Settings menu. It said "Getting ready, this won't take long." Half an hour later it was still 'getting ready'. Attempted to re-start in safe; hold shift and restart via start button. Won't reboot.

Once it reboots via automatic repair it runs fine until I attempt to restart then it's lather rinse repeat . . .
