Welcome, I do not think that a recovery disc is needed. Try a simple system restore. It sounds like your problem will be corrected with that simple remedy.

Whenever there is an unexpected changed to your OS do a thorough A/V scan and download and use malwarebyes.

I cannot tell you what will happen, I can tell you what should happen. System Restore is only suppose to make changes to the OS; documents, photos etc should not be touched. I have used SR about 3 times and never had a problem. The final decision would have to be up to you.
