Windows 7 - There are No Icons or Taskbar on my Desktop
When I start Windows 7 only the wallpaper shows up, there are no icons or task bar. This is a newer HP desktop computer, only 4 months old and has very little use and almost nothing loaded on it.
The problem is intermittent. Somethings it boots normally with full icons and taskbar (but the problem returns in a day or two, or the next time I restart the computer).
I have seen on other posts to check whether "explorer.exe" is running. Have checked Task Manager and it is.
Antivirus Programs (all up to date and run several times with no issues (in safe mode))
1. Microsoft Security Essentials
2. AVG 2012
3. Malwarebytes
4. CCleaner
Have run System Restore 10 to 15 times (sometimes will restore to normal for a day or two, then problem returns, most times still no icons or taskbar).
Have run
1. System Restore
2. Check Disk
Can anyone help? When Googled, I see this issue with XP computers, but not much with Windows 7 64x.
Thanks
