Desktop Not Found

I'm sorry if this has already been asked but I didn't find it and this is really bothering me. 

 

I installed the latest update to windows last night and went to bed. I turned on my computer and it does as normal until it's time for my destop. 

 

It tells me the desktop is not found. My desktop is blank and empty except a reycle bin. 

 

So I got into safe mode and restore before the last windows up date and it works fine so far everything is here, except Google Chrome didn't work right but I reinstalled that and all my bookmarks and such are working fine. 

 

But I'm wondering if this will happen again if I attempt to update windows and if there is anything I can do to check for that sort of thing. Did I even do the right thing by restoring? 

 

I think the chrome issue was from me stupidly downloading something called Incredibar by MyStart it hyjacked my browsers and I noticed after I restored everything it did it again. That was my fault but it doesn't seem mailicous just annouying. I know that the Incredibar is a thorn in the side of everyone unfourtunate enough to have it.

 

My primary concern is being able to update windows with a 'desktop not found' error. 

 

I run Windows 7 Home Premium on a G62 Notebook. 

 

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Re: Desktop Not Found

Hi,

 

From my observations: just reboot the machine to continue the updates and you should be back to normal.

 

Good luck.
