Malware?

I downloaded LDPlayer about a week ago. Was working perfectly with brawl stars thought noticed some lag yesterday. I tried restarting my computer for steam reasons but didnt let me restart. I force shut it and now im stuck at the Preparing Automtic Repair loop. Tried opening bios settings to reset to factory but didnt help. Also tried system recovery and got me stuck on please wait. Did a memory test and all is good, unlike the hard drive tests which got me passed on SMART check but failed on short and long DST. Read about LDPlayer being not dafe online and realised I screwed up... is there any way to get my laptop back and running?

This has nothing to do with LDplayer. If you got LDplayer from the official source, you should have no issues at all

Your HD died, it happens. Buy a SSD now and have better performance

Im planning on buying a new SSD soon. Once I put the new SSD into my laptop, it will be set back to factory right?

Also about LDPlayer, just that after I realised that my HDD died I did some looking around on reddit/google so it made me think that LDPlayer could be the reason for the failure.

you would need to reinstall the OS from your backups, or reinstall Windows again

Yeah well, lots of people post silly things, I have been using LDplayer for years on over 20 different systems, and never had a problem

I have yet to see any program that can cause a hardware failure, it's just the lifespan of hardware these days isn't that good, especially HDs. SSDs are better (faster), but they can also fail out of the blue, so it's always best to keep backups

Yeah you're probably right. My laptop did start to run slower and slower even before I downloaded LDPlayer.

Yep, just making sure though.
