The desktop was gone, almost as if it was fresh windows restart (btw, I'm the only user of this computer). New wallpaper (not the one I used to have), all the files and folders disappeared from desktop (replaced now by the bin, google chrome icon, and edge icon - that were not there before). All programs configurations deleted, reseted, or not loaded - but the programs were there. The wi-fi was connected. I managed to use Chrome to do this post.
