My Win10 desktop is frozen!

The desktop has all the icons it is supposed to have but clicking on any
one of them does nothing.

The taskbar has the Windows Start icon at one end and the date/time
thing at the other end.

Again clicking does nothing.

Aha! I see a stationary hourglass next to the pointer.

crtl-sh-esc is ignored.

ctrl-alt=delete brings up the expected menu.

I have everything backed up. What should I do????????????????????

Thanks/

Since your control-alt-delete works, you've got options...

Can't read the red text. I think the first sais something about a
Cortana button, but I removed Cortana a long time ago.

Thanks.


Use the button at the top "Download original".

Work with a full-sized image, when it downloads.

If I had to rework the accursed backgrounds on these
OSes, I'd be old and gray by now. I used my "convenience VM"
on this machine, to take some screenshots. And I don't
normally waste a lot of time making VMs "pretty" as part
of the setup.

I have one physical install on the other machine, where
the background is a bit better. But then I couldn't
take pictures of the control-alt-delete screen. (I'd have to
use a camera, which would suck.)

The blue in 1909 is abysmal.
