I've lost my START menu and task bar. So after various ideas I thought I'd use System Restore. How do I get to it. No START menu so no System Restore button. Help

I tried the Windows key...no good. I don't know why I lost the Start menu. I was just doing my standard updates on Anti-Virus etc, then a reboot and it was gone. I also notice that the desktop icons now seem to take a while to load up. I don't have a user name and password. I just go straight in. In Safe mode there is no Start menu either. I did do a Restore Point a few days ago, so if only I could get back to that. Thanks

Navigate to C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\startmenu\programs\accessories to get to the command prompt. At the command line type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe.
