Ransomwares, ? You may had to replace your hard drive or do Clean Install...
" I paid the ransom 100 days ago and had to reinstall(?) win 10 to only to face a problem again 3 months later. "
If the ransomware locking down the files (e.g., gandcrab, etc...) or ban you from the desktop, ... the chance are there actually an ransomware attack. I had faced one like you, but I'm lucky because there's two Windows installs.
The term "paid the ransom," if that was done by crypto, etc; It's actually a ransomware attack. It's forbidden for my region that I had to pay crypto. For me, the only reason for you is to reinstall Windows or, hek, eventually replace the HDD. My tactic to do, due to the fact that your device is too old to get extended warranty, is a shiny new HDD or to do dualbooting with Linux.
If it was an RaaS attack, go advanced: cease that HDD out of the 6 years old AIO and cost money on a new HDD instead. Once then you will had to reinforce your network [this means you need scramble their consequences out]
If there was an non-RaaS ransom attack: An full reformat (from another device) and Windows reinstall is required only, unless if too severe, replace HDD.
If Dell were mentioned notable for doing a ransom with you, I regret: 6 years old is too long - and you don't know how to screw the device open for a check.
