How can I fix my PC due to icon overload in desktop

by vf01 . Updated 6 years, 10 months ago

Hi all, forgive me I dont know where to post this. so basically my computer is disfunctional after I accidentally extracted a ZIP file to my desktop multiple times accidentally, and not in a folder. This ZIP file had around 77,000 icons. My desktop, which is extremely important to me at this point due to upcoming exams is totally disfunctional and there is no way I can open any application, aside from Task Manager when I press ctrl+alt+delete. My gear is as follows: NVIDA GTX 970, CPU: AMD 2600, 8gb 2400mhz ram, 256gb SSD, 500gb hard drive, two monitors (I dont know if having two displays is a contributing factor or not).

I can get into my PC through my password and get past the lock screen but once I see my home desktop nothing works. I can go to the windows bar but I cant open any application.

Please, any help is appreciated. Is there any way to fix this, or is my PC just dead. Thanks in advance.
