Windows 10: Log On Gone Haywire

[I'm using my newer pc for this question] My Desktop has reverted to the basic blue background, and I cannot get "Personalization" to work. I can still get to the Internet, but the Repair facilities [sfc, Health, etc. on Command Prompt] don't work. Would downloading a new copy of Win 10 help? I really don't want to invest in a new pc if the works are still O.K..

:)

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

New TechPowerUp Forums, Early Access

So far I like it with just a few issues, and they are minor.

• The name of the person who created the thread and the date is really lite and hard to read for me.
• When you are logged in the thread titles are in bold and look great, but when you are logged out they are normal, and very hard to read. We have a lot of users that come, and do not login. So, I suggest changing it to where everything is bold if you are not logged in.
