Windows 10: Flashes and disappearance of taskbar and apps.

When I turn on my PC, it's fine for a while. Then, the taskbar while flash and the stuff on it disappears. The apps on the start screen follows. And then whole screen goes white. And it repeats this cycle. If I'm on an app, it will keep bringing me to the taskbar layer. This makes it difficult to type or run anything. Task Manager is the only app that's almost unaffected. I'm having difficulties typing this. I've checked and it's not because of my keyboard.

Bitlocker Causes Taskbar Pinned Apps Disappeared

Alright, the problem is the Desktop directory. Rather than force end explorer process which cause another issue, today i found it is better to moved Desktop directory back to C:\Users\username\Desktop and create a symbolic link to keep the desktop files
secured with Bitlocker.

The steps are:

• Moved back Desktop directory to original location C:\Users\username\Desktop
• Moved Desktop files to safe location (in this case to D:\username\Desktop)
• Delete Desktop directory in step-1
• Create Dekstop directory symbolic link using elevated command prompt:

code:

mklink /D C:\Users\username\Desktop D:\username\Desktop

This way the Taskbar Pinned apps - in my case - not disappeared unlike before.

Thanks
