    Desktop replaced by start menu


    Hi, recently my computer has been acting up. I believe I hit a shortcut on my keyboard by accident, because now my taskbar is black, and trying to access my desktop will redirect me to the start screen. Pressing the Windows key yields the same effect, bringing to the fullscreen start screen. I really need my desktop back. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Hello,

    We appreciate your persistent patience n this issue.

    At this point, I suggest you to check if the same issue occurs when logged in through a different Local Administrator user account.



    Follow the steps:

    • Assuming that you are already logged on to your user account in Windows 10, click the Start button.
    • From the Start menu, click your name from the top of the left pane.
    • From the displayed options click Sign out.
    • From the login screen, click to the different user account you want to switch to.


    However, if you do not have a separate user account, I suggest you to create another administrator user account by referring to the Microsoft article here: Set
    up accounts    .

    Kindly keep us posted on the status of the issue.

    Thank You.
