The desktop is your GUI. If you have access to your task bar, and other programs, then the desktop is working. I think you have inadvertently changed some desktop settings. What happens when you right-click on an empty portion of the screen? Do you get the menu with the entries "View, Sort by, Refresh,..." etc? If so, then your desktop is working fine and you need to select the "Personalize" option to fix whatever you did to it before.

run a virus scan (full)
sounds like some of the automatic startup services have been changed to manual startup type, you can change them back using services.msc from run line or admin CMD

i realize my instructions are somewhat complex, but that is the nature of the beast!
i can be hired online to do the work for you over internet, but you will need a credit card, of course. if you cannot afford that, then post some follow -up questions(no disrespect, we were all newbies at some time).

Have you been able to be satisfied with the way your computer is working yet? don't worry dude . nobody can afford anything these days ... just ask your teachers you paid all that money for.

Try creating a new user account and see if you get the same problems with it after logging in to it.

possibly go to the "Run command" and type "explorer" or press ctrl+shift+esc and bring up task manager then New Task (Run..) you can type "explorer" there and will bring up your desktop. That's just to get what you want if the final fix doesn't work of going to run and typing "msconfig" and changing startup selection to Normal Startup possibly. seems something got on your computer and changed a few things in windows boot and may be just that user account and try what Rik from RCE said.

booting into safe mode by holding f8 during power up and startup. and then restarting again might fix it, as well.

that's essentially the same thing as changing the startup to something different then what they currently have. either way will show the current startup option needs changed.

if you use the run command and type compmgmt.msc you can go to Local Users and Groups to create a user and password.

Try booting using the safe mode. Usually works that way.
