    windows 7 won't run properly after update


    this morning after leaving my pc on overnight i noticed it had updated due to being on the startup screen, so i followed it through as i normally do but this time there were no icons on the background, i noticed the display had a 5mm black border around it aswell, i managed to get to the main screen by typing my password on a black screen after the windows loading window, but now i'm stuck just my background picture with the same 5mm border.

    heres pics of what happens in order:

    it's not a virus because it happened last time windows updated, that time the fix as just a restart, though, this time that isn't the case and yes i have tried to get task manager up and start explorer but task manager wont even start!

    Do a system restore. Also I would change your auto updates to let you know about an update but allow you to decide to install them.

    Does Ctrl/Alt/Delete do anything?

    mooseyt,

    Welcome to SevenForums.

    As suggested to you, I would like to second the advice to restore your system to an earlier restore point.

    RESTORE TO A PREVIOUS SYSTEM RESTORE POINT


    WIN | type SYSTEM RESTORE |ENTER | NEXT |
    check Show more restore points (lower left)|
    Highlight the desired restore point |
    Scan for affected programs (lower right) |
    make a note of affected programs |
    CLOSE | NEXT | FINISH


    WIN is the key with the wavy Microsoft flag on top.

    mooseyt,

    after you have a restored system, then I'll make some suggestions to locate the source of your problem.
