Big time. I have run the recovery for their back to the box settings. Prior to that used 3 cleaners and shut down WIFI.  The problems remain, can't update Windows, use restore, they are on the NEST thermostat and show as the WIFI. s password even tho' the router is totally unplugged.

Any suggestions?

    What are your system cleaners? I know of some fake cleaners that are Ransomware or Rouges. This may be the problem.

    I use CCCleaner and Spybot. The Windows thing is garbage, most of the symptoms are gone now but I still have a load of sites listed on the Wireless Network Connection 2 link. They are all checkmarked to be sign in automatically and one, Orange Dove is on there twice, one time as unsecured.

    Spybot as in Spybot-Search & Destroy? I recommend removing that, because I believe it might be a virus. I recommend Malwarebytes AntiMalware.
