Please I need help urgently, my file explorer refuses to start whenever I boot my system. Instead of taking me to my home screen on booting, it shows blankscreen. Please I need help on how to rectify this problem

Have you tried a system restore like @ https://www.hovatek.com/blog/how-to-do-a...e-on-a-pc/ or repairing boot problems using a Windows installation media?
Also, how did this issue start?

Well, it started overnight without any warning whatsoever. As to how it came about, that is another million dollar question cos it worked fine with all my apps and installed programs until it decided to portray this problem

I think its software related
1. Do you have a Windows 8.1 DVD or bootable USB
2. At the Windows logon screen, Hold SHIFT key then click restart. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > System repair
3. Boot into BIOS (F10 on boot) and run a hardware diagnostics just to be sure

No, I don't have a WINDOWS 8.1 DVD... I guess I'll try and boot into BIOS and run the diagnostics as you suggested

Before that
At the Windows logon screen, Hold SHIFT key then click restart (from the power icon).
Select Troubleshoot > Adavnced options
Try system restore and system repair

No, it doesn't affect files. Only settings and installed / uninstalled applications
