Based upon what I just found, if you press f11 continually and rapidly during boot you will restore to factory specs. That means you lose everything; pics, files, software etc. If you do the factory restore, you will be just like it was when you took it home. To save your stuff you can try this if you cannot save normally.

Now avast does not show up at all! Windows defender will not turn on. Cannot boot into safe mode. I guess the only option now is to try the F11 reload.

Or try safe mode with networking and download malwarebytes. scroll to bottom left for free version. then try system file check.

System File Check.

Go to start search and type CMD

Go to CMD.exe in search box results and right click, click run as administrator

Type sfc /scannow in the box that opens (note the space)

If errors are found reboot and run the test again up to 3 times.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. Nothing worked, so I reformatted and am now reinstalling windows and a multitude of updates. I'm thinking of manually reinstalling programs rather than from my back up, just in case something in there was corrupt and started all this. What do you think?

I think that you are doing the right thing. After you are up and working, download macrium reflect, its free. Make a copy of your hard drive and update once a month. This way you will not have to reinstall again.

You can choose to run it in .exe Or in a .zip, The ".exe" will be updated, The "zip' File will prompt you to update it. When finished you should have cured the issue, If there were hidden root kits from root repeal(In Kernal Mode.
