2018-02-13T22:31:22+00:00 The following steps worked for me ...
- ctrl-alt-del
- select Task Manager
- in Task Manager, select File then Run new task
- type "explorer" in the box next to "Open"
- click OK
now you should get your desktop back, I'd wait a minute or two, then
- reboot
- logon
steps 6 and 7 may be a little slower than usual
- desktop appears as normal
I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

2018-02-08T07:25:09+00:00 In my case, this problem started after the Creators update.
I have a Dell Optiplex 760.
I have uninstalled my graphics drivers. No help.
I have unplugged all of my peripherals with the exception of the wireless keyboard and mouse. No help.
I have turned off fast boot or fast startup whatever it's called. No help.
I removed my video card. No help.
Tried several other things I found online. Nothing has worked.
The only thing besides booting in safe mode that does anything is restoring a previous version of Windows. However, that is only a temporary fix as the Creators updates automatically downloads again and screws up my computer each and every time in a seemingly endless loop of frustration.
