So upon entering desktop from initial startup, all my icons are missing. The loading symbol shows if i move my cursor over the taskbar at the bottom. If I CTRl-ALT-DEL and signout i takes a minute but than i can sign in and it works fine. Im not getting any BSOD and this occurs about 1/3rd of the time. Also resetting does not solve the issue. Anyone experience anything like this? I couldnt find anything about blank/empty desktop screens via google.

I would go to the "startup" tab in the taskmanager and disable your startup items then try rebooting a few times and see if it still happens. it might be a faulty program causing the intermittent startup issues.

Everything is disabled. Could this be due to me installing windows in legacy, not eufi?


Could be.

I get the same black screen & empty taskbar too sometimes.
I was fooling around restarting in different modes today.
I guess I overdid it & caused a crash.

Earlier I had things running good & made a restore point.

After the crash I caused, I restarted & pressed F 12, (Which I had enabled in the BIOS - "Boot Menu") & chose UEFI from the 2 options.

Then I chose Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

In the command prompt I typed in rstrui.exe & pressed Enter & picked the restore point I had made & it restored & worked good again.

No Refresh or Restore where I would have lost all my installed programs.

Just a Restore Point. :)

I figured this method out myself.
It works good at getting things up & running again quickly & easily.
