Asus laptop starts up desktop, applications won't load
I started my laptop up this morning and the desktop loaded, the internet connection icon was displaying the "loading icon" and the audio icon had an "X" on it. I tried opening up task manager, but it never loaded up. Same goes for firefox, control panel, and general windows.
I ran safe mode and it was working fine, and I tried a system restore since I downloaded Java 64 bit 2 days ago, but it still freezes on the desktop. I'm not that experienced with the advanced technical software side of computers, but I'm not hopeless, so I guess I can try to fix it with some guidance and feedback
