Windows 10: Deletion of files, words, shortcuts, or browser items

Good day!My laptop is currently on Windows 10. Everything the mouse clicks or the cursor is placed is deleted and spams deletion confirmation pops up. It is up to date terms of Windows updates and so far any app crashes every now and then and requires multiple restarts before it functions well then suddenly crashes again after sometime.Hoping to hear from you soon,Thanks!

In Windows 10 taskbar shortcuts all say "the item you selected is unavailable it might have been moved"

All the taskbar items and shortcuts from the start menu are unable to complete their links.

The phrase "the item you selected is unavailable it might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list".

The items have not been moved, nor renamed, nor removed. The list does update with recent items, but I can never get the short cut to work. I have tried to delete these shortcuts, but the "delete" does not delete them.

Any suggestions?
