Windows 10: Startup and search

My computer started up like normal, but then it just showed my background (the default windows background) for at about ten minutes before loading all my stuff (app icons, taskbar etc.). Then I went to use the start menu search, but when I clicked it, nothing happened. I tried Cortana and just clicking the windows button and the windows key. My notification tab did not work either. Everything else worked, but they were slower than usual. This has happened once before, but I restarted the computer and thought nothing of it. If anyone has any answers, I would be very grateful.
