Windows 10: Desktop will not open after reboot--its like it keeps refreshing. I was able to open edge,...

I'm not sure which MS version we have because I can't access. The reboot stops when the desktop opens--the desktop looks like it keep refreshing but just flashes for a moment and then goes black. Then it continues to flash. I am unable to open anything other than the browser. It is a very old laptop, however, so I'm sure its an older version. I only need to stabilize long enough to grab some items from the desktop--then it can go in peace

Need IE desktop icons to open with Edge

When I first got windows 10 i didn't like Edge, and fixed my desktop icons to open with internet explorer. Now, certain aspects of the Flash addon do not work properly in IE and i am FORCED to use Edge. So....... the question is....... HOW DO I GET MY
DESKTOP ICONS TO OPEN IN EDGE NOW????? I have tried removing the check mark for opening desktop items with IE in the internet option on the control panel, that didn't help. I've tried deleting the icon and reloading it using edge, when I clicked the new
icon, it opened in IE. Any suggestions?
