Accidentally exited explorer.exe and can't get past the boot screen.

[Merleh]

So, while I was turning off background processes in the task manager I saw that "explorer.exe" was taking up a lot of my ram so I decided to turn it off. Stupid me. After seeing that the task bar and everything other than my cursor disappearing I restart my PC by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and selecting restart PC. When it starts up all I see is "Asus, in search of incredible", and nothing else. I usually see that screen but not for more than a few seconds. Now it's stuck and I've let it sit for some time. It says "Press F2 or Delete to enter BIOS menu" but none of the buttons work. I have not found anyone else with this problem and would appreciate it if somebody could help me. Thank you for your time.

TL;DR: Turned "explorer.exe" off in the task manager and rebooted my pic and couldn't get past the bios loading screen.


Update: I have found the problem. I had plugged in a mouse because my main mouse didn't respond in the BIOS before and when I unplugged it I got past the BIOS Splash Screen. Thank you for your help.

what motherboard do you have? is keyboard plugged into a black (USB 2) slot on back? 1st step is get into bios so you can add USB to boot order or fully activate them at boot (depends on motherboard model)

on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB - its a handy boot drive

explorer.exe should have reloaded itself right after you closed it. Should also auto load itself on restart so something else is going on here

once we get past the uefi refusing to work with keyboard, we can try to boot into safe mode off the USB - but I show you that once we beat bios into submission
