Alright, so my windows 10 desktop starts up normally at first, with the pretty picture at the login page. After entering my password though, it's just a black screen with a small cmd prompt at the top left. So clearly, fileexplorer.exe isn't starting up when my PC starts.

The way I'm starting it up at the moment is to go to task manager with ctrl+alt+del, clicking on file, new task, and typing in 'explorer' to start it up manually.

How can I get explorer to startup automatically again? I don't even know how this happened.
