try these fixes:

 

go to the task manager with ctrl+alt+esc and go to file go to "run new task" then type explorer.exe

 

 

1. Open task manager. (with ctrl+alt+esc)

2. Open processes tab

3. Scroll to section "Windows processes" and look for "Shell Infrastructure Host"

4. End this task. It auto restarts normally. If not then execute "sihost.exethrough "task manager" > "run new task" to start the process.

5. desktop, icons, taskbar etc should reappear and normal background screen should be visible
