Windows Acting Weird After 8.1 Update

Hi,

I recently updated to 8.1 from 8. Now when I start my laptop, it boots up normally and I can login normally and it will load my desktop screen. However, pretty much everything is non responsive; all my desktop and taskbar icons are gone/not showing, and when I put my mouse over the taskbar it displays the loading symbol and I can't click on anything.
The screen flashes intermittently as well.

Anyone know a way to fix this?

Hi cahan,
I think your update was corrupted, since you can access the lock screen hold shift while clicking restart on the bottom right of your lockscreen to make an advanced start-up, then perform a roll back to windows 8 from system restore point menu and install windows 8.1 again.
