If your files are appended with .hhncz extension, it means that your computer is infected with a ransomware virus. These infections lock up all personal files on the device and usually mark them with a particular extension.
While some of the crypto viruses use a predetermined marking (such as .locked, .crypted, .moka, etc.), others tend to generate a random extension for each victim - and that is what you are dealing with. Knowing which ransomware you are affected is impossible judging just by a randomly-generated extension.
However, you should visit this website and upload the ransom note (usually a text file that is placed in each of the affected file folders) and an example of an encrypted file. This way, you should find out which ransomware you are dealing with, and whether there is a possibility of restoring your data.
In most of the cases, recovering encrypted data is rarely possible without paying the ransom, although doing so is not recommended. You can find out more about ransomware and how to deal with the infection in our "How to remove ransomware?" article.
Good luck
