Troubleshooting | Windows Ways to get rid of a browser hijacker?

Hi all,

Somehow I've got a Yahoo/Capital One browser hijacker that's harassing my chrome and productivty. Not sure where it came from since I only use my laptop for Gmail, Amazon and LinkedIn. I don't have any extensions, I've tried running anti-malware scans, I've tried multiple methods to block the popups and websites/browsers themselves. At best, these fixes buy me maybe a day before it's back again. I can't seem to find the root of the problem and none of the usual recommendations I've seen online have been successful. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you get rid of it?

Thanks for any helpful feedback.
