No Desktop, Just Blue Screen At Startup

Here's why I'm confused looking at your posts:

The latter two items you suggested do allow me to gain access to my Desktop

I didn't get anything new in Safe Mode.

Please tell me what happened in Saf Mode because at first it seemed that Safe Mode worked, but then later you said Safe Mode didn't work.

Botton line: If you have a Desktop in Safe Mode, but not in Normal Mode, you may have some malware on your computer.

This is what happened. I ran MalwareBytes before doing anything suggested to see if it would help. It allowed me to regain access to some icons on my Desktop. I also re-downloaded my anti-virus software because I had no icon and could not get access. I got the exact same results with nothing new found. I then went into Safe Mode and also tested your other suggestion with the same results, nothing new.
Safe Mode doesn't give me access to my Desktop as it was before I got the blue screen. It's still blank in Safe Mode with the exception of the few icons I now have because of my running MalwareBytes.

So things are changing. I do think you should post this in the malware forum just to make sure Malwarebytes and your anitvirus software found everything. I'm hoping that you don't have your Windows corrupted to the point where you may have to reinstall.

Will do! Thanks for everything. Hope to get to the bottom of this real soon. :-)
