My laptop has run out of programs, run out of options?

I hope you can help me or at least have an idea what the problem could be.

I started my laptop, as normal, login profile and login window are all there. Logged in, loaded and then… Black background, all icons gone (except for the recycle bin, which only shows the error message "token not available" when you click on it). The touch bar is still available but has a black background, Windows start characters can't be used, is highlighted in red, when you move the mouse over it. I also checked the task manager, no more active processes. What exactly happened there? So that I at least know what kind of problem I have here, you might have a few ideas about what's going on and how me can proceed further?

Thank you in advance LG Manfred

Try Rescue CD with AV

Thank you, I'll give it a try πŸ‘

St

In my opinion, the best. I'm going to make myself a USB like this in a moment - safe is safe as said Mannlicher:-)

Thank you, always beneficial to have multiple options πŸ™‚

St

And if so, what have you installed? And how did it work? Your experience is very important to me and others.

ce

As soon as I have a result, I'll let you know πŸ‘πŸ˜€ Unfortunately, it loads forever πŸ˜…

St

Do you do it with USB or CD? And what do you want to download right now?

ce

USB

You can recognize a pioneer by the arrows stuck in his back.

You are the first one:-)

I'm waiting for your experiences and keep my fingers crossed for you.

Great saying πŸ‘πŸ˜‚ unfortunately nothing has happened so far, everything still looks the same

ce

And thank you 😁

St

And what have you tried so far?

St

If it's just a system error, YOU can try Rescue CD

St

Or hardware test

https://www.google.com/...for+laptop

You should start with that

ce

So the stick has now unfortunately not brought much πŸ˜” because apparently there are no programs that could be saved

ce

Will try with the hardware πŸ‘

St

OK. If hardware is OK, then you can do like I always do:

With Knoppix I copy all private things to other HD. Hopefully, you can still read HD without problems - if not then chkdsk:

Then I format everything and reinstall everything.

Well It's very easy for me because I always work with Linux / Unix.

That's just bitter

St

If hardware is OK, then it's Windows Feler. Then Notffal-CD is easier than Knoppix.
