The problem I am facing is whenever I start my PC after use login window where it should show the start screen my PC just doesn’t show anything except for a mouse cursor.
I can press CTRL ALT DELETE and go into task manager go into File > Run New Task and then run explorer.exe sometimes this works and start screen becmoes accesible but sometimes I have to repeat it multiple times to make it work or sometimes I just have to restart my PC.
More over while on the black screen and being able to access task manager If I right click processes there and open containing folder that also work I can access all my program/files from there but all that is missing is my desktop and start screen
- Can anybody help me with this?
- Plus can anybody tell like for explorer there is
explorer.exeis there a.exefile which would start the start screen ?

There's a registry key that tells Windows what "shell" to load on startup. Open regedit, and look for the key here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Make sure that the shell key is set to be explorer.exe.

Update: If there is explorer.exe and csrcs.exe, you should delete csrcs.exe from there.
