    in windows 10 my desktop is not working


    my windows 10 desktop is blank. If I move the mouse around and click on, for example, Netflix, it runs perfectly. The start menu works. Just the desktop is out to lunch. If I happen upon the location where the icons I have on my taskbar are located, they all work. Often when I manage to open a window, it works but the background of the window is filled with colons or dollar signs. The functionality is still there. Still I cannot see the desktop. Just for grins I changed monitors but have the same results.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
