My task and tool bars are now gray like OLD windows and I have no sound. When I turned on my computer at noon it came up with a Windows defender application failed to intialize and the tool and task bars are gray as is most of the other stuff whcih looks like old windows.

Also now when I perform tasks or click on task to close out some windows I hear a BEEP from my tower I have never heard exept in maybe DOS mode. I also have no sound.
Also during boot up it is bringing up a boot screen momentarily( like if you click F2 I think) and asks whcih opporating system to use but then boots by itself with out clicking on anything.
