Windows 10 - 'explorer.exe class not registered' & ms-settings missing
Hello everyone! As every other W10 user, I constantly run into some problems. On sunday my computer was working perfectly fine and today when I turned it on, everything started acting up (note that this is not the first time, seeing as I already reinstalled w10 already 3 times in the past month). Where do I even begin with what was bothering it. First things first, computer was SUPER slow - like, slower-than-snail slow - and this didn't surprise that much considering the fact that I have windows installed on HDD (I was kinda low on budget for SSD, but I do plan on buying it) but it still didn't serve as an excuse to being so ridiculously and awfully slow. Then next thing is that whatever program that I want to start just ends up being big white window with 'no responding' message. I start a task manager but same thing is with it. I went and downloaded CCleaner and Malwarebytes thinking they would help and they did. Sort of. Turned out that computer had 2 trojans (which would explain his painful slowness) and after MB deleted trojan, another problem came up. I rebooted windows and everything was fine until it loaded desktop. Then when I tried to click start meni button, search or windows store - it wouldn't budge opening. Neither left click nor right click work. Right click works only for taskbar and will only open options menu for taskbar. Also, I spent approx. 5 hours trying to fix the next error that came up when I clicked on win store ('explorer.exe - Class not registred'). I found billions of fixes but none of them worked but instead helped me out finding yet ANOTHER problem. Ms-settings: doesn't even exsist on my computer anymore. And for windows it says that 'they're not activated' which is a total lie because they are. So what is going on here? I mean, yeah I had problems with W10 but never this major. I'm tired and pretty sure I'm straight up loosing my mind because I tried sfc /scannow (that resulted in yet another error), wsreset.exe does nothing, tried booting in safe mode - no changes, returning to previous builds - no builds available, any kind of recovery - no recoveries available and resetting PC is not an option because it says that 'reset couldn't be done on my PC & no changes were made'. I know that I could easily just download iso file from internet and install W10 from scratch but I have papers due and that would cost me a lot of time. Also I have a lot of things on computer - too little space on USB. Any help here?
UPDATE: cabinet.dll missing error pops up quite frequently too
