Windows 10: Desktop is gone

I am highly upset after just updating windows 10. My desktop is completely gone and I am unable to minimize anything I open to work on later. I am at the point of wanting to break my computer. I am so frustrated being a college student is not easy when I cannot do these basics. I have a microsoft surface pro 4. Someone please help me before I lose it.

:)

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

 

HELP! My Laptop has gone into SLOW MOTION!

Should be able to get a "step-by-step here;
