    Black Desktop after Update: only cursor, no Task Manager!!!

    I updated Windows 10 today.

    The result is disastrous: after the login page, the Desktop doesn't appear. It's totally black.

    Only the cursor is visible. Task Manager doesn't even open!!!

    THIS IS WHAT I'VE TRIED:

    • Opening Task Manager with CTRL+ALT+CANC doesn't work
    • Starting Windows in Safe Mode (both with Internet and without) produces the same result
    • Starting Windows in Low-Resolution Mode produces the same result
    • Going back to previous Windows build brings me back to the main Troubleshooting page: it doesn't work!
    • Startup Repair doesn't work
    • System Image Recovery: I have no image files with me
    • Unplugged every device (including mouse and keyboard, leaving only the Monitor HDMI and the Power Supply)

    At this point I'm desperate... the ONLY option I have right now is System Restore keeping my files....
    BUT IT WILL REMOVE MY PROGRAMS!

    I really can't believe that's the only possible solution to this!

    I really need your help... thanks in advance!
