Desktop Flashes between START and Desktop

I have a HP Envy M6 Laptop.
I have upgraded to Windows 8.1, the laptop came installed with Windows 8.
Shortly after the upgrade, my email, outlook stopped sending and receiving. Once this was fixed. The Desktop will no longer stay open. All the fix utilities use the desktop to open, as soon as any of the program open desktop, the Desktop flashes/flips
between the start screen and the Desktop. I can occasional "grab" explorer if it is open, but I cannot open any of the program that are attached to desk top, such as word, excel, outlook, snippet tool. Etc.
Do you have a fix?

Winston, there is another thread on this site where users encountered this same problem. For your information if a user bought a laptop with 8.0 installed, then loaded Norton, then updated to 8.1 without first going to Norton and downloading the "patch"
this is the flashing is the symptom. To resolve, you remove Norton from your laptop, in safe mode, then re-install Norton. that fixes the flashing perfectly.\
Hope this helps other users.
