I originally had this problem about 2 weeks ago. I had my laptop in my car, and i got into a bad accident and my laptop had to have bounced around in the car quite a few times. When I got home, I turned on my laptop to find that the regular mode would not load, but I could open it in safe mode.
Somehow, after doing something, or just waiting, my laptop just started working again after a little while, and regular mode worked with no problem.
Earlier today though, after my laptop was disconnected and my battery died, I plugged my laptop back in and I had the same issue. It may have been the first time my laptop has been "restarted" since the accident. I can not remember what I did to get my laptop to work again the last time I had this issue, but I really need to get this fixed.
When I turn on my laptop to load up the regular mode, it takes a much longer time than normal to get past the login screen, and once it does, it only loads the background and mouse, and that's it. I can't open my task manager, and there is no start menu, icons, or anything else. I can't do anything besides shut down the laptop by hitting the power button.
I think that I may have done something with drivers last time to fix it, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
Edit: I should also mention, I've scanned every driver, and no issues have come up, except that there is an "Unknown Driver" that doesn't have any driver software installed, and I can't install any updates for it. I tried disabling and uninstalling it to load up the regular mode, but to no avail. It reappeared in the driver list when I loaded up safe mode.
