3. Are you IN Safe Mode (per the labels at top/bottom screen on boot)?

If NOT, you can try right-clicking empty desktop and choosing 'Display Settings' to adjust the resolution.

If you are in safe mode, hit Windows button + R, then type msconfig and hit Enter

Check that on the first tab you're NOT on the middle option, and on the second tab, Safe Boot is unchecked. If either are that way, fix them, then reboot.

If you're still not good after that, lemme know. Unless you know how to reinstall the Driver for your Display Adapter, in which case, do that.
