Temp Files causing Problems
Windows Defender keeps telling me that a bunch of temporary files are severe trojans. But whenever I clcik the start action button, it does absolutly nothing. And wherenever I install a different antivirus, it doesn't detect anything even if I select the specific folder. Can anyone help?

I aslo tried just deleting the entire temp folder, but that didn't work.
for something like this, definitely don't install a third party antivirus yet
if i had to guess you may have downloaded a trojan antivirus, so try uninstalling that first
but in all likelihood you might just have to reinstall windows
While your PC is still working I would try to make a windows bootable USB drive just incase. Or alternatively you could just get all your important data onto a USB and factory reset your PC. Also it's unlikely that it's actually a virus as windows defender gives alot of false positives.
