Windows 10: my desktop had gone blank after update

After update my HP desktop window 10 went blank when I login. Is it due to malware? How do I resolve it?

:)

 

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.
