When it loads up all I get is the desktop wall paper but not top panel or unity side bar. Previously I was using Ubuntu 16.04 Mate edition and everything worked great. I read this question Ubuntu 16.04 unity desktop environment doesn't load after fresh my desktop is install but I could not get to a tty screen like the poster in that thread. When I did Ctrl+Alt+F1 all I would get is a blank screen. I've tried switching monitor inputs and going from my nvidia card to the onboard graphics but nothing seems to work. I'm just going to switch back to Mate for now but I would really want to check out what's new in Unity.

Visual Studio yesterday and all those extra components it pollutes computer with. And this morning I was greeted with completely blank desktop and error message. Microsoft… Blank desktop (actually with wallpaper and mouse cursor) is a sign that Windows shell, namely explorer.exe, did not start properly. Good news is that it’s often easy to fix without Windows reinstall or recovery. What is explorer.exe Windows is not really monolith. Shell runs as explorer.exe process and is part that manages important, but standalone chunk of interface that includes: desktop; start menu; task bar; native file manager; most of end-user autorun entries. So when shell fails you lose all of these, but OS itself just goes on. Not that you can do much with it in such state. Common issues There are three most common reasons for: explorer.exe file was destroyed or corrupted; shell settings were hijacked or erased by malware; faulty DLL crashes explorer.exe on launch. How to start software without shell Ctrl+Shift+Esc hotkey opens Task Manager. File > New Task (Run…) there allows to type in or browse for executable and launch it. This is your lifeline. As long as you can launch something you can attempt to fix situation without drastic measures. Things that will be of use It is best to come prepared, but if you can get to browser and Internet you can prepare in the process as well. You will need at least some of these (preferably portable and ready to use): file manager (Q-Dir will do if you need something that looks common, otherwise choose your own poison); search tool (inside file manager or good one like Everything); anti-malware scanner (I’d start with CureIt); autorun manager (Autoruns); registry editor (native regedit.exe will do, but things like RegScanner help); event log viewer (native eventvwr.msc or MyEventViewer); Process Explorer is much better than native Task Manager for troubleshooting. Things to check Run scan for malware, it is probably most common issue. Even if it cleans up malware it might leave explorer.exe broken (which is why it often breaks after malware is killed). Run chkdsk.exe to check hard drive for errors. Verify that explorer.exe is present in Windows directory. Verify (and correct if needed) that shell is pointing at explorer.exe and it alone, without additional parameters or anything, easy to
