I'm running under Windows 7. Yesterday my system failed to shut down normally, and upon reboot, application icons failed to activate their respective programs...
Both antivirus and anti-malware scans didn't detect any issues. But I did get error messages telling me that "Windows Security Center can't be started," "System Protection is turned off (in System Restore)," and (upon a manual shutdown, with a big red "X" showing), "Failure to display security and shutdown options..."
I am able to run Win 7 in Safe Mode. The system boots OK into Win 7 normal mode, but nothing can be invoked after the Desktop icons finish loading...
How can I get my system operating normally again?
Thanks for any feedback!
