  1. Blank icons + non-responsiveness after start-up


    In relation to another post, I had a similar problem. I then cleaned up my desktop and removed several icons linking to programs that I no longer need on my desktop now that the start menu provides that function. Voila! The freezes with blank icons stopped happening. I must have removed a corrupt icon that was freezing the start-up. I am posting this as I have not seen this suggestion in relation to this problem.


    A simple trial would be to go to your desktop folder (C:\Users\%profile%\Desktop and move all the icons and folders to a temporary location. See if that cures your start-up blues and then, if it does, gradually reintroduce those links that you REALLY need on your desktop. If the freeze reappears, then it is due to one of the recently reintroduced icons.


    I hope this helps people.

    :)

  2. Blank icons + non-responsiveness after startup

    Here's a screenshot of my desktop after following DhickyCarey's suggestion. Please excuse the anime background.

    The desktop icons are still non-responsive. I click on them (as you can see the "Stuff" folder is highlighted after being clicked on) but it will not open until about a minute later. At that time everything clicked on will open which is often that folder,
    twice, and the taskbar icons will appear (they are missing as shown in the screenshot).

    Blank icons + non-responsiveness after startup

    Thank you DhickyCarey. I tried this and it has helped a bit. The desktop icons now appear. However, the taskbar icons do not. Also, the desktop icons are still non-responsive for a minute or so after startup.
