If ransomware uses encryption to hostage files or an entire system, it is very difficult to decrypt the relevant files or the system without the necessary decryption key.
In such circumstances, it is recommended to report the crime to the relevant authorities and restore the affected data from a backup.
Therefore, I recommend that you restore a system backup and remove the Win32:RansomX-gen virus from your computer.
