Repair or reinstall windows

You can check what Shell is being used by the system. 

 

In CMD, type regedit and press enter. 

 

Locate the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell

The key should have a REG_SZ value of explorer.exe.

 

If it says cmd.exe or something else, change it to explorer.exe

 

Here's a command to change this if you want:

 

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon /v Shell /t REG_SZ /d explorer.exe

Sorry, it's a value in the Winlogon key, not a key itself.
