I ran a virus/malware scan using Norton Security Suite and Malwarebytes, and no viruses/malware were found. I've also done several reboots, run check disk, and cleared cookies/cache. How may I resolve this?
Desktop/desktop icons aren't working.

Hi HelpNeeded911,
Have you tried a System Restore from Safe Mode? If not, reboot your computer and repeatedly tap the F8 key till you get the Advanced Options screen. Use your Arrow keys to navigate to Last known good configuration and press Enter on your keyboard. You can undo a System Restore point if you're not satisfied with the results.

Please keep us informed to your progress.

Before being able to troubleshoot, I ended up receiving a Windows Explorer error message. I checked the option to find a solution and restart Explorer. Thankfully, this seemed to resolve the issue. I will wait to see if this is a permanent or temporary solution. Either way, thanks so much for your help!!
