Windows 10: Strange Issue - Ribbon missing IE and Fiel Explorer Windows 10 1809

Hi Guys,
Sorry this is my first post, so anything I am missing please let me know.

I ahve had a strange issue with a couple of machines recently in that the ribbon for both IE and File Explorer are missing and all you can see is the desktop (Please see attached). However upon restarting the machine, it will return to normal and then after a while will revert.

Actions taken:
I have ran an SFC scan
Tried a chkdsk
Checked for any drive updates or any windows updates

Thanks,
Liam

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
