Screen disappears and returns to desktop screen

Can someone tell me why, in Windows 7, when typing or not typing, the screen automatically disappears from the task at hand and it is up on screen 'House '? What happens to me constantly on top of my laptop and office and it becomes really aggravating. It does not matter what I do; I can be typing an email, letter, or a reading just something on my screen and everything I'm working on everything disappears and I'm back to my home screen. This idiosyncrasy occurs on my lap top 14 months old and my top office dating a week and I need to know why. Thanks for any input

I found it! Thanks a lot for started me and knowing I wasn't nuts.

Go to "Control Panel" then click on the words "appearance and personalization".  Then, you will get a "Task Bar and Start Menu". Click on "Customize Start Menu" and then "taskbar". You will see the words 'Desktop Preview with AeroPeek'. Simply uncheck the box to use Aero Peek.  Problem solved.

Why Microsoft would do this I'll never know. So, it seems useless to me. It almost drove me crazy until I solved the problem. Hope this helps others who have this problem

  • Taskbar disappeared and all the desktop icons are gone

    Ok... I think it's a virus... but I can't enter "search" to locate. When I connect my wallpaper rises on Windows and that's all. I start the Task Manager and type "explorer", but it says Explorer is not found. I did a virus scan and nothing came. Menu start has disappeared... How can I 'Search' a program when I don't have my Start menu or icons? And why 'explorer' is not found? Help!

    Hello

    It could be a virus, or it could be something interferes with the Explorer shell.

    If you press ctrl + shift + ESC, open the Task Manager? If so, on the applications tab click "new process" and type explorer.exe and click ok. This starts the desktop computer?

    If the Task Manager does not open, then you are probably infected (virus often block access to the Task Manager). Restart in safe mode by pressing F8 when the system starts at the start up, just after the initial POST, and before Windows starts to load. This should result in a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode. Run your scans antivirus from here.

    Need help with windows defender. all my files folders pictures everythiing disappeared and I find myself with this black screen and it is not all good: o)

    I don't know why vista windows no longer charge, or when the files and folders disappeared

    How Windows Defender is on this problem?

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    From your description, it seems that, after you have installed the correct video driver for your ProBook (15.201.1301) AMD, Windows Update is then by installing a different driver on top of that, right version?

    If this is the case, you must follow these instructions to STOP Windows update update drivers: how stop Windows 10 to update automatically the device drivers - windows Windows 10-10

    Once you do this, you should not see updates to the pilot after that.

    Good luck

  • Everything on the left side of the screen disappeared and all programs will not recover as malware has infected my computer

    Original title: I was struck with Mal-Ware. Everything on the left side of the screen disappeared and all programs. Does not restore. Everything is still there, but can't find it. How can I get that back?

    When I go to help and support, I've seen where it will take me to something in Office 2007 even if you ask the computer to find or search, he says that's not there.

    Hi windy-54,
     
    -What do you mean when you say "everything on the left side of the screen disappeared and all programs not recover"? Does this mean you "Start" menu is empty?
    -What is the exact error that you receive while you are trying to search for programs on the computer?
     
    Write us with more information pertaining to the matter to help us help you better. Meanwhile, scan your computer to clean the virus or malware that touched it.
     
    You can use the Microsoft security scanner to do the same.
    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
