My power bar accidentally switched off and made my computer weird....when I first turned it back on my mouse and keyboard weren't working so I forced shut down. When I tried again, it turned on and started doing some disc check thing while it booted. When it finally loaded the first thing I noticed was that my desktop wallpaper was gone. Then I got a few errors like my sticky notes not being able to load.
When I tried clicking on my documents it wouldn't open, nothing happened. Opening programs like firefox give me errors that stuff is missing...when I look through my c drive though, everything is there. Also, opening files makes requires me to give permission as the admin.
The files on my desktop all have a little lock icon on the bottom left of them as well. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks.
Update: I've tried a system restore and it didn't work. The search function in the start menu doesn't seem to work either.
Update 2: My computer seems to be having troubles accessing files I think? Like, the files and stuff are there on the hard drive, but shortcuts and programs can't access the stuff they're supposed to. I managed to launch Steam through the program files, but it's unable to launch any of the games. And through the Steam program files I can see the games are there, and I can launch the games.
