Windows 10: I lost my desktop

I have lost my desktop. I was trying to fix a red x in front of my administrator icon which was not allowing me to access or do things on my computer, as i was searching for a fix I came across a fix see attached, it seemed helpful being many people seemed to help them. I tried it, but now when I log in, my desktop is gone it is just a black screen, and my internet opens and that is the only thing I have access too. then I must use Control Alt Del to escape and go back to the login screen

Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

Lost desktop background

I did a Search & Distroy spyware scan the other day, and one of the suggested "fixes" said something about removing Active Desktop. Like the muppet I am I clicked yes and am now without a desktop background picture.

Does anyone have an idea how to reverse this? If I try to select a picture it's simply not added as a background.
