have you tried to scan your PC for any malware or virus? try to download Malware Bytes... and scan your system check if it will help..
or can get a print screen of your desktop post it here..

it's not a malware problem...it's a Window problem and it appears that it might be in the Taskbar and Start Menu section. I say that because when I go to Control Panel and try to open it nothing happens and it won't open at all. Print screen doesn't work on the desktop by itself, only when a program is opened does it work. Any other suggestion? thanks
