A few hours ago, my laptop died because I forgot to plug it in. After I plugged it in, I turned it on and found I couldn't use my computer at all.
Once I get to the log in screen, which functions as normal, my desktop shows up. For about a minute (max) I can hover over any icon, and it will be highlighted. Then, I will lose the ability to click anything or use keyboard shortcuts or do anything else. Microsoft's support was no help at all, and I'm at a loss.
I have tried unplugging my mouse before startup, removing the battery, accessing advanced startup tools (which I can do by holding shift and restarting from the login screen), nothing I do makes a difference.
I have an Asus N5600 laptop running Windows 8.1.
