Windows 10 problem

So this is my first post. When I log into my administrator account the taskbar keeps flickering and no icons are shown the whole screen just flickers and you can't click anything on the taskbar. However, my little brother's account still works with no problems besides it takes forever to load up. All this happened after I left for work leaving the computer to update and when I came back this was happening. I've tried as much as I can think of. I checked windows update and ran a check there and it finds the same thing wrong over again but says that it fixes it. The computer won't even let me rest anything it stops in the middle are says it can't reset.... I have no idea what else to do I've ran test after test. If anyone can help I'm open to suggestions?

Probably Anniversary update, that screwed up a lot.

Solution:

Check your Display Settings (wrong refresh rate, 1080I(!))

or

insert setup CD and reinstall.

Will it let you uninstall the updates you just installed or you should have a restore point that was created before the update install that you should be able to revert back too but I wouldnt do it through the OS I would do it through the boot menu.

good thing about win10 is that you can initiate a fresh reinstall from within the OS if needed

Okay so by "test" I mean I ran tools windows gives you like windows update trouble shooter and things like that. I looked at the event log and app readiness keeps being shown as a error that is repeated over and over again. Also I should note that when I boot into safe mode the admin account works fine. And when I try to reset, sorry I meant to type reset not rest, but when I try to reset/refresh from the windows system itself it starts but then tells me it couldn't do it. I'm also getting a service control error.

Also it says that there's a problem with the restore point. And I got it to work in sage mode but when in normal boot mode it still doesn't.
