This is scam message
Just try to restart your computer

Customer Replay

I did and it is still there

Ok
Please restart your computer and press F11 while it restarts

Customer Replay

Still there

Try this:

  • Hard reboot (press and hold the power button to power off the computer) your computer and repeat the process a couple of times.
  • Usually, it takes two consecutive system reboots within two minutes of boot completion for your computer to boot into Windows RE

Okay that works
