File explorer randomly opens on it's own and background & task bar vanish

Since I've upgraded to Windows 10 I've noticed that frequently I'll come back to my computer and the file explorer has opened itself. At the same time, my desktop background disappears as well as the task bar. The only thing I can do to get it back is restart using ctrl+alt+delete.

I don't usually post on these boards so I don't know what info about the computer would be helpful. Let me know if you need any other specs.
Windows 10 Home
Dell XPS 8700 desktop
64 bit
Intel core i7-4790
Ram 8GB
