Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
