Every time I reboot my PC it can do one additional thing:

Reboot 1: mouse pointer appears
2: desktop background appears
3: can click on the clock to get a context menu but nothing else
4: can open the windows menu but nothing will launch
5: things seem to work but all my files are gone
6: everything's still gone but now my disk space is critically low

It's been truly fascinating and I have no technical explanation that makes sense

At least I got to pick a new computer name. Farewell hoopy, welcome aboard trans-rights.

(Hoopy was my ex's nickname for herself since she was "shaped like a hula-hoop". In a rare bit of intelligence, I never engaged the topic 😂)
