Windows icons no words on desktop or file explorer

This is what my computer looks like right now and I'm not sure what to do windows updated a couple of days ago and I noticed some issues the main issue was every once an awhile my disk would shoot up to 100 percent usage but in task manager it would show nothing was using more the 0.1 MB/s.

Then I noticed it was happening more frequently then I noticed it happens every time I opened google chrome so I reinstalled google chrome and it stopped.

I restarted the computer afterwards and it did a disk check and said it was repairing Volume something wish I had an image when I logged back in I got the image above it fixed itself after a couple of mins and for the rest of the day it was fine then I restarted it again that night and its been stuck like that every since.

Every time I restart it fixes that same volume thing again before I can log in I cant check devices because there is no text as well.

A couple of other things when I type in google chrome with that computer the text is extremely small and impossible to read unless your really close.

My computer had been getting fixed after another issue for a long time and these new updates seemed to have messed it up somehow any help?

Hit the Windows key and R on the keyboard. Type in cmd and hit enter. In the window, type sfc /scannow. Keep in mind there is no period in the command. That may fix it. It sounds like a Windows file is missing.

Should this fix all the issues my computer restart time is insane since the issue began taking longer then 30 mins to get to the login screen like it is now?

These symptoms suggest your hard drive or SSD is failing. Create an Ultimate Boot CD or USB on another computer. Boot your computer using it, and use the HDD diagnostic tool form your HDD manufacturer to check the drive's S.M.A.R.T. data. Based on your symptoms, the drive is probably failing with a high error rate and large number of remapped sectors.

If S.M.A.R.T. says your drive is in danger of failing and you don't have a backup of your data, you should make one immediately. Don't try to backup the entire drive, start with the files most important to you first. Since your Windows installation is effectively unusable, you'll have to try using a Linux boot disk/USB created on another computer. Boot off that and copy your important data to an external drive.

If S.M.A.R.T. comes out clear, then you can try the sfc /scannow suggested above.
