I think my pc may be hacked. I can't control my user interface anymore.

yesterday I heared beeping sound. the you be around 4 every ten minutes. I restarted my pc then they increased to 7-12 per 5 minutes. I thought it was beep codes but it's not because at night I lost control over my UI . some idiot (or a virus irdk ) keeps continuously typing random keys and opening random folders and I can't move my key using the touch pad or type anything. until it stops .while he types my pc audio beeps I can only type anything when (that fool ) is not typing, which is usually a few seconds. I've shut it down for now. But my Windows defender tells me I do have threat " hacktool:MSIL/AutoKMS"(and some others I didn't note down) I removed it but it's not really gone because I still can't control my UI . what do I do? Do I have to format my pc???I'm really desparate .I think I'm hacked or I have a pc virus and Irk what to do at this point

I'm very sorry to hear about your troubles. Most likely you will want to reformat your PC. Since you were able to recall the Windows defender threat, you may want to look up what Windows defender knows about that particular threat and what actions they recommend you take more specifically. Other than that advice, I'm not sure this is the best forum to help you with this particular issue. We do hope that things get resolved for you so you can enjoy life worry-free again soon.

Disconnect from any network first, I had such experience when my friends were angry at me thinking I sent them infectious materials but actually it was the virus that did. Then shutdown your PC. If you have another computer, try to connect the disk as slave drive, or use USB to read from it and backup your important files immediately. Remember not to backup any installer or any executable, not even media files (video, audio), just your work files, documents, worksheets etc. If you don't have other computer to backup with, think your best option is to full format your disk and reinstall the system, unfortunately this means to erase your data, once you put something else in. As Janning⭐ said in previous answer, you may find better suitable answers from a more specifically targeted forums (troubleshooting forums) as there most likely you find experts or knowledgeable persons with more experiences. May you solve that issue ...

0) Do not disconnect your computer from the internet if it is connected to it. 1) Shut down your pc by pressing the physical button. 2) Calm down. 3) Disconnect your pc from any network. 4) Do not turn on your pc. You might lose all your files. 5) Ask someone in your area who knows computers to help you out. 6) Problem solved!
