my PC does not display the desktop Solved/Closed

Question

Hello everyone, since last night my desktop doesn't show up, it displays a blue screen while my computer starts normally. I've tried the startup options wanting to launch a previous good configuration but there isn't any, and I even launched it in safe mode with no result. Please help me.

Right-click on the workstation/property and go to the desktop tab, then at the bottom, desktop customization
check if the items are checked.

Otherwise, it's likely you caught something nasty after a download
do you have an antivirus and an anti-spyware?

You can do an online scan

http://www.secuser.com/outils/antivirus.htm

otherwise update your antivirus
and your anti-spy

if you don't have one, you have
http://www.emsisoft.net/fr/software/personal/ demo version

Anti-trojan
http://www.zdnet.fr/telecharger/windows/fiche/0,39021313,11008989s,00.htm

or even Adaware or Spybot

start in safe mode

then scan your PC with these tools

and let us know what it is

The explorer.exe process must be nonexistent, or it must be a mistake. Try going to the task manager, then to File and New Task!!!
And there you go to c:/windows/explorer.exe!!!
There you go, if it is nonexistent, then get it from a friend!!!

Hello, I had the same problem as you (just 5 minutes ago, lol), the desktop wasn't showing, just my background, I had access to the task manager but that's it.

After several unsuccessful attempts, I booted in safe mode (F5 or F8 at startup)
I ran Avast which immediately found a trojan, I can't remember the name (I know it was an hour ago, but I have the memory of a goldfish), anyway, it asked me to perform a scan before booting into XP, I accepted, and then it detected other infected files that I think were related to the first one...
Now my desktop is showing, everything seems to be working fine (apparently I haven't tried everything yet).

I hope I was able to help you.

P.S.: If it works, can you run Navilog to finish everything up, okay? :) I'm in, good night

hélène · Answer

If it were Acer, I would have gladly helped you, so what you do is I give you a link, and there's a tutorial that is really well explained for this kind of problem. And if that doesn't work, I recommend that you format your PC.

Hello everyone

I also had the same problem, my desktop was not displaying anymore.
Despite the numerous solutions provided that I tried, nothing worked

Then by right-clicking the mouse, selecting "reorganize icons," and then "show icons," it worked

I hope this works for you too.

Hello,
Process I use in case of Windows XP being attacked by a malware that has overwritten explorer.exe.
So no more desktop at startup..
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, the task manager will appear..
Check if explorer.exe is listed among the running tasks..
If not, put the Windows XP CD back in the CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions to install another version of Windows XP on the same partition WITHOUT FORMATTING.
Once the new version is installed (30 minutes), 2 options for Windows XP will be offered at startup.. choose the first one, it’s the new one.. use the explorer from the new version to find explorer.exe in the programs (system 32) and copy it, then still under the new Windows XP, open the file of the old Windows to repair and place the copy of explorer.exe in system 32.. close everything and restart.. This time, when prompted, choose the second option, you will return to the damaged first version and miraculously... it works again..
Then uninstall the version that served as a repair by going to My Computer right-click Advanced/ Startup and Recovery/ Edit and modifying the boot.ini file to leave only the first version of Windows.
Then go to Msconfig Boot.ini and choose the correct version as default at startup. Delete the second version or not if you want to use it another time..
There you go, it’s like before the filthy mess!
It may sound a bit complicated like this but actually, it's simple and effective!
You can email me in case of a problem.

Hi, I found the solution in another forum, it's very simple:

1: Create a new text file in Notepad
2: Copy this text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile]
@="Application"
"EditFlags"=hex:38,07,00,00
"TileInfo"="prop:FileDescription;Company;FileVersion"
"InfoTip"="prop:FileDescription;Company;FileVersion;Create;Size"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open]
"EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command]
@="\"%1\" %*"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas\command]
@="\"%1\" %*"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\DropHandler]
@="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers\PifProps]
@="{86F19A00-42A0-1069-A2E9-08002B30309D}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers\ShimLayer Property Page]
@="{513D916F-2A8E-4F51-AEAB-0CBC76FB1AF8}"

3: Save it to the desktop as "Repare.reg" (without the quotes of course)

4: Then right-click on the icon and click on Merge

5: You just have to restart your PC

And that's it, your desktop should display normally, see you later.

a little thank you, that’s all

Hello,

Since I tried to scan my hard drive, it froze at 75 percent (I'm on Vista). I restarted the PC and it got stuck at 55 percent, then a page appeared that said "(in English) sending to a document with the address id 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9....and it kept going, so I stopped it at 10000.
I restarted and opened Windows without any problems; it said if there's a problem, we will let you know.

Then I managed to reach the welcome login screen and bam... blue screen. I restarted in safe mode, and the solution was to format Is this the only solution????

Best regards.

Before everything, retrieve your personal data as indicated: https://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/24285-recuperer-ses-donnees-personnelles-avec-toutou-linux

In Safe Mode, open the command prompt and type chkdsk /r
Repeat this command until you no longer receive error messages.

If that doesn't work, you can always reinstall your Vista with your recovery DVDs or with your recovery partition.

I press F8, I boot into safe mode with command prompt and it opens everything, I type msconfig, I go to the last tab and there you find the click manager and you execute..... and there for those who know about it I'm stuck (I'm on Vista)
Actually, it's not clear. Are you stuck because your PC is frozen or because you don't know what to do?
Have you tried chkdsk /r in the command prompt?

lol I remember it’s because of that that my north doesn’t display the desktop anymore, but I had also turned off in class too and didn’t warn about it ^^^..... ^^^

krazykat · Answer

Did you turn it off during a chkdsk??! Not good, the chkdsk repairs your hard drive, and now you've probably damaged it. So you need to run it again and let it finish.  -- Google is your friend      =^-^= The "Search" function of Comment Ça Marche as well

Thank you very much everyone, with this problem do this this this this.

krazykat · Answer

Toutou Linux is primarily used to recover your data from an external medium (CD, DVD, USB stick...) before formatting.

Big problem it says "inserting an index entry with ID 1 2 3 4 5 6 (many times I'm at 5000) into the file SIH SID..
Big problem with the hard drive. Let chkdsk run even if it seems long.

I advise you to follow this tutorial: https://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/24285-recuperer-ses-donnees-personnelles-avec-toutou-linux

Hello, since yesterday I've been turning on my computer and it directly shows a blue screen, and I can't get any further. What should I do? Please help me. Thank you.

Normally, it will help you. Right-click with the mouse, then select "Display," and finally click on "Show desktop icons," and that's it if it's only the icons that have disappeared.

Hello Kin,
My PC (ACER, WINDOWS 7 with AVG antivirus) is slow to start up, and even if it starts normally, the desktop is not displayed. I tried safe mode by pressing F8 but to no avail; instead, my PC starts normally but only shows the background without the desktop. Please help me.

MonsterTom32 · Answer

Maybe a virus, when you turn it off and then back on, you need to quickly double-click on your antivirus and let it analyze, and then you just let it do its thing after, I don't know (: A+++
