Hello. I am writing this from my phone so excuse potential bad writing. I have had a peculiar issue with Cheat Engine for a while and it seems to be having a mind of its own. I can start Cheat Engine and sometimes it last for a few minutes right now only approx 10 seconds before it crashes. The weird thing is if I manage to turn on the speedhack it will continue after cheat engine crashes (When I used to normally shut down cheat engine in the past it closed speedhack)

The reason I call it a 'virus' is that whenever I google something along the lines of 'Cheat Engine X' and open ANY link the browser will without a doubt crash. May it be this page, youtube or other harmless pages. Of course something seems to be wrong with this computer as it works on other computers of mine (I cannot migrate I need this computer)

I have tried basically any method I could find online and nothing seems to budge it.

I have resetted settings; reinstalled multiple different versions (by obtaining them from other computers e.g 6.7, 6.6, latest); turned of antivirus. Adding exception. Windows safe mode. Upgrading equipment. System restore to when it worked. Compatibility modes. The list is long; and I cannot figure it out. Any help is welcome.

assuming it's not an uefi rootkit:
buy a new harddisk/ssd and install windows on it.(unplug your old one for the time being) Do not install any online games and just CE

see if it still does that crashing

if not, reinstall the things you used to have on your broken windows install until it breaks again so you know what causes it.
