Shutdown and restart while Immediately holding the Shift key. This is Safe Mode and will do a Repair Disk, clear cache files and only load the required software to run the computer. It will load slowly - Normal. If all goes well, it with present the Log In Screen. Then let it stay in Safe Mode for 5 - 7 minutes and then restart in Normal Mode
