Explorer.exe Class not registered and other issues after CreatorUpdate
I updated to the Creator Update yesterday and have spent almost 24 hours trying to fix all the issues it has created with my system.
The most irritating is the one in the title, if I wasn't using Clover and the Task Manager I wouldn't be able to access anything on my system. I attempt to get to the recovery from the Control Panel, the option that says "if you're having problems with your PC, go to settings and try resetting it", however I get the Explorer.exe Class not Registered error. I have tried the regsvr32 method, I know it's not a Microsoft Edge issue, I tried dcomcnfg, and I tried SFC, which said it found no errors at all.
I have also tried to roll back to the Anniversary, however my keyboard nor mouse are present and none of their inputs are registered. I have tried three or four different usb ports for both the mouse and the keyboard with no luck. Let me clarify that I tried all of that in the advanced boot menu by locking the computer and shift-clicking restart. I only get any sort of progress in safe mode. For some reason the Windows 10 Settings will actually show up in safe mode, but once I click the Get Started button to roll back I receive the "This won't take long screen" which then freezes up and crashes.
I attempted an In-place upgrade which from what I noticed accomplished nothing and since the usb I made was for the anniversary version the only thing I could do there is a clean install which if at all possible I would love to avoid. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will post a Speccy TXT of my system.
