My tabs and apps don't show up even things like task manager, settings or combinations of keys like Ctrl + Shift + Esc I don't know what to do!

Question

What happens is that every app that I click on or even important things to resolve this issue like task manager or settings won't appear, it'll show a blue circle like it's reloading but that's it, nothing, can anyone help?
