    Does Microsoft actually read this? I don't think so.. Otherwise I would say the engineers are idiots

    Because that can't run a devops system based on every computer that has windows installed as each computer has different programs & different hardware making it near on impossible to cater for everyone so some mistakes will be made due to the setup of each machine, while someone will come out and say Apple can do it why can Microsoft, Apple uses a closed system which stops anyone from changing the hardware in their systems making them easier to update and every update will be compatible with that system they are applying the update to as the hardware is all the same

    The following steps worked for me ...

    1. ctrl-alt-del
    2. select Task Manager
    3. in Task Manager, select File then Run new task
    4. type "explorer" in the box next to "Open"
    5. click OK

    now you should get your desktop back, I'd wait a minute or two, then

    1. reboot
    2. logon

    steps 6 and 7 may be a little slower than usual

    1. desktop appears as normal

    I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

    Thank you so much for this! Worked like a charm

    I had to do Two More things.

    1. Kill the running (Not Responding) Windows Explorer
    2. Check the Administrator Privileges box on the 'Run new task' Explorer 

    At that point it got me back.
