If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet, and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted. - OK

Then I click ok after that I only see recycle bin and task bar, which can not do anything background is black, so I restart by using ctrl+alt+delete and run safe mode(safe mode with network). 

In safe mode it has no This PC it just has recycle bin and some program and I can't open any file location of any program after that I turn off my pc for 30 sec then open it the result is

    Unfortunately for many if us, the networking function is inoperable in addition to the desktop.  Says there’s a problem with network adapter drivers so we have to get update via USB drive.

    In my case i dind't need another pc, beneath is how i solved this. I searched the internet for hours but couldn't find any solution, so had to find out for myself. Now after the update i did find this topic :-(. 

    But hope i can help you out with this.

    Open command propmpt with "windows key + R" -> then type CMD

    Go to the directory where you're internet browser is located, in my case: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application

    Open chrome.exe or whatever you're browser is

    Google for "Windows update assistant" or go to:

    https://www.microsoft.com/nl-nl/software-download/windows10

    Choose for the update option. Now you should update to 1809 or whatever update is available at the time. 

    It takes a while, cause it's a big update but after rebooting my problems were solved.

    Then select file-》new task

    You can then browse to executable you need

    first in my case you can not open windows file explorer. you can only hack by using new tool opening. then you can see your folders. But in that type you do not have ability to change option hidden to visible. any hack trying didnt help

    and desktop is empty

    why Microsoft upgrade windows 10 and destroy every thing have ??

    this is very serious problem you must almost send ne license key for new installation!!!
