I've seen that personally on a customer's computer.... never figured out what caused it but here's a solution:

Create another administrator account. Then copy everything in C:\Users\"Your Name" over to the C:\Users\"New Account". Use the new account and you will have everything on your desktop and taskbars back.

You must have a different problem.... that solution worked fine for me. No suggestions at this point other than running "sfc /scannow" w/o the quotes from an elevated command prompt. That will correct any corrupted system files.

Right click on desktop and select view and make sure there is a Check next to Show Desktop icons. Also, scroll to bottom or top, depending where taskbar is and if it shows up, right click on it and select Properties and and uncheck Auto-hide the taskbar.
