Windows 10: Windows Explorer acting up, drives gone, icons gone...

After several hours on my pc i open a windows explorer window and this comes up;





Now if i open up a new explorer window on top of that this comes up;





If you notice the icons are gone, if i close both windows and open a new one it starts over from the top.

Other issue is if i click on properties on files like images no property window comes up, i bet there is more but this just happen an hour ago. Everything works apart from that, bluetooth headset, games, videos, browsers, email etc.

thanks

and... windows search doesnt work, doesnt turn out any results even if i search for something like notepad

:)

 

System Z

All of a sudden System Z popped up on my computer. Now it is gone but my icon for my CD/DVD drive is gone. Might this indicate that my drive is bad and needs replacing?

 

Lost task bar icons and user setting on reboot

Now when I login, it give me a message "Preparing Windows" and then my taskbar icons are gone, all of my files are gone and my emails are gone. Everything has to be reset up as if my first time. I can find my files on the hard drive, I just can't login
to that account

 

Renamed to File Explorer in Win8 and later. Which Build of Win10 are you running? Is it the released 10240 or one of the later preview builds?

 

10240

 

Did it happen after you rebooted which cleared out anything left in RAM/Random Access Memory, give it a fresh start?

 

In the middle of the session, tried rebooting, hooking cables...
