Have you rebooted? If so can you move the mouse to the bottom, top, left and right side of the screens and see if the start bar is hidden (if so it only shows when you hover the mouse over it). If it is hidden right click it, Properties, untick Auto-Hide the taskbar.
Regarding the desktop icons, right click the desktop, Arrange Icons By, then is Show Desktop Icons ticked?0 -
try opening task manager, click file > new task, type in "explorer" hit return and you should get the bar and icons back0
