Did you boot into safe mode before running a threat scan in malwarebytes?
Also try a system restore
and have a read of this

...if its a scam it'll be cleaned but if its true....do you really have much on pc that you will miss? I mean we have external enclosure and cloud software for mostly everything. Wipe the drive and start again!

Take the hard drive out and run it as a slave on another pc if you can, then do a virus check on it, you should find it then .....this is what I did on my dads a couple of years ago when it happened to him, been ok since then for him.....did a post on here about it some where.

Try recovering all your files.Install attached program on another pc and use Gazer method to scan for your files.I had a 3TB hard drive with lots of old movies on it and I was locked out of it I scanned drive using my laptop and a drive caddy.I recovered every movie on it which was aprox 2.5TB.

the usual dodge is it renames the files to all .exe.jpg or .exe.mp3
turn on show known extensions in windows explorer.
or just check the extension ,jpg etc is correct for the file type.

did you try looking in the c: drive as it did mention that the changed files would be put on the c: It does not delete the originals. just renames them on the c;drive. i think, that my undertanding of it.

could you not batch change them to jpg? It could be a lame attempt to pretend to be an encryption virus. Just renames them to something obscure. try one file and rename it to .jpg. i do this quickly by opening winrar. and naviagting to the file and hit rename. JUst rename the bit after the file name. Sure there are better programs, but for our test winrar will do.

if its encrypted, no a file recovery thing wont work but at this moment in time you have nothing to lose? I'd give it a go and I hope i'm wrong when i say that my understanding of the the ransomware issue is that they encrypt the data, probably 128/256 bit and no normal way to unencrypt without the original key!
My suggestion above was if the virus was a cheats ransomware where they pretended to encrypt the data.
If you've taken photos with your phone you might find that they have been backed up online somewhere. This might not get them all back but some?

You could try to view one of the files with a hex editor and see if its still an image or if its been encrypted. Viewing the files header should give you a better clue on how to fix
