    Both my Taskbar and Background have vanished and the Windows key doesn't work, Help.


    I was working on my computer when I noticed that my taskbar had been removed. I minimized my Edge tab to see a blank white screen with a Restore Down, Maximize, and Close button. I still have an Edge tab, but i have no way of opening anything else. I can make new Edge tabs, but restarting does nothing and i cant open anything besides Edge. If you have anything that could help, please reply.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:
