Hello, for about 2 years i have the pc, but recently it started lagging, but i didn't care that much but today i was playing Minecraft, while speaking on discord but i needed to launch my browser, i launched it and i saw this "could not start properly" for taskeng.exe and cmd.exe and it forced shutdown my pc. I tried rebooting but it appeared instantly and force shut down. Please help. Thanks

You are most likely infected with malware or virus. A virus is using the task scheduler for something nefarious probably

Thanks, I got to safe mode and downloaded MalwareBytes and it detected the virus.
Now everything is working fine.
