Windows 7 Pro x64: Change in desktop, browser, shortcuts for no reason
Yesterday, my laptop was working fine. Today, everything seems to have gone haywire. My user and password were working fine, but after I logged on, a message popped up saying that windows switched everything back to default settings. The pinned programs at on my taskbar are gone. The my documents folder was empty at first glance (and I keep tons of work stuff in it), but turns out its linking to the wrong folders now. My desktop background has been swapped for the default. My browser settings have all gone back to default and my favourites folder is empty. My touchpad which used to be turned off can no longer be turned off. Some of my games no longer work. My antivirus softwares and other programs that used to run on launch no longer do so. I'm using an ASUS G53J laptop so I have some buttons that change basic system settings like screen brightness and things like that but when I press them the graphic that pops up looks totally different. A host of other innumerable things have changed and I don't know what to do.
I have tried resetting the computer, system restore, and scanning for viruses but to no avail. I did not install anything or notice any change made to my computer last night. Can anyone help me find out what was wrong cuz this is really frustrating?
