For some reason windows could not load your user profile. Check event viewer for reasons.
When it happens, a new profile is created with default settings.

Old profile contents are still available under c:\users\<username> or c:\users\<username>.<computername>

thats the default desktop theme, you can change it by right clicking desktop, select personalization, and select themes, theme settings and maybe if you lucky your normal theme will be in the list. click it and windows should swap to it.

if you want icons showing, right click desktop and select view, then show desktop icons
