I picked up a virus I believe from a game I downloaded it has disabled internet access windows update any restore points etc. I have scanned with kaspersky rescue disk but it didn’t detect anything. I have kadoersky and malware bytes installed but they don’t detect it while the system is running and the bootable usb antivirus didn’t work either. Any other suggestions.

I was thinking of doing a file system integrity check or downloading the windows msrt.

Any suggestions would be appreciated don’t want to have to rebuild my system as there is a lot of historic information I’m fearful of loosing

Well, that is your FIRST problem.

Your data should never ever be at the mercy of a single drive or system.
What would you do if that drive were to die right now?
Or that illegal game download came with ransomware?
(yes, it happens)

Fix that situation, then think about what to do about the malware that came with the game you downloaded.
