This suggestion is not going to help your current issue but may make your life easier in the future. Assuming you don't have specific requirements that can only be satisfied by a Windows-based system, you might want to consider a Chromebook or Chromebox in the future.

I used the computer external shutoff which worked. Restarted and no further issues that I know of. Current security systems show no infections.
What is happening? Is this simply a way to get you to call and give someone control or extort money?
