Windows 10: Black Screen (Desktop & Taskbar disappeared)

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I turned on my laptop and all I could see is a black screen. I searched the internet and tried creating "explorer.exe" task using Task Manager. Turns out it doesn't work in my case. All I could see after creating the task was an even more annoying flashing taskbar. I opened other programs such as "Chrome" and "Microsoft Word" using "Create new task" option. Everything seems to be working fine, as each of those programs got opened. The only issue is I can't see my desktop or taskbar and when I login, I only see a black screen.

Hopefully, someone can help.


Thanks

:)
