I am currently running Windows 8 Pro on my desktop PC. I had been doing regular web browsing yesterday and a bit of gaming, and now suddenly this morning, it had gone to the windows repair boot screen and tried to repair itself. I guess it succeeded because I'm using it now. Anyways, the situation is as follows.
When I log in, explorer.exe doesn't execute, and I have to do it manually. Even when i do load up explorer.exe, the start screen can't be accessed, and i have to do everything through either command prompt or task manager. Also, it seems that my administrator rights have been taken away, and now I have to check run this application as administrator when i want to run something. My desktop icons have disappeared, and the superbar on the taskbar has also disappeared. I have tried creating a new admin account through command prompt, but when I use that account, it does the same thing as the other account. When I try to run 'My Computer' or 'Control Panel', it gives me an error message saying "::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\8\:17CD9488-1228-4B2...\pageDefaultProgram No such interface supported". My User Account Picture has disappeared too, and so has the image on my lock screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
