Should just be the above unless you mean everything including the start menu is missing. If nothing is coming up in windows (Meaning no start menu, no icons, and just a mouse with background), try hitting ctrl+alt+delete to see if you can get to the task manager. Then goto File -\> New Task Then type “explorer” minus the quotes ---
