Apps won't open after an update in Windows 10
So I just turned on my computer and the "We are getting your computer ready" or something like that message popped up. I thought that the most logical thing was that my computer just installed and update.
So I go in and nothing opens, Ive tried with Chrome, Skype, Microsoft Edge, Windows Store other apps from different companies, and none of them open at all.
At the beginning Cortana, the home button, and all the other features on my desktop would work but after a minute they wont open too.
I can open my Library, it takes time for it to open, I can go through my files and open folders but when i try to open anything else, it just won't.
I can open Task Manager, and everytime I tried to open any app it would say that it was running but it doesn't appear like it is. If I try to open an app several times (lets say I click Skype 5 times) It would say in Task Manager that Skype is running, 5 different times. Also when I first pen task Manager it will tell me that nothing is running and I have to click more details to see that Skype is running 5 times.
Some apps like Chrome will open but the window will be completely blank.
If I click on some app that usually would open the "This app wants to make changes to your pc" Window, it will make that distinctive sound and the background would go blurry but the window wont show and I can't go back without restarting my computer.
I've tried to restart my computer several times, not only did it not work but sometimes after the restart the computer screen would just be black so I have to restart it again until it decides to open.
I can use my mouse and keyboard just fine.
Other apps that open (looks like the basic Window apps): Recycle bin, Library, Task Manager.
Thanks for any kind stranger helping
