Reinstall windows, download ISO from Microsoft using their Media Creation Tool,

I've had this and no software can fix it only a complete reinstall :)
Thank you for your suggestion...but I have some good news.

On July 14, KB4022405 was installed and created the problems cited above.
On August 4, last night, KB4032188 was installed and solved those problems.

I'll cross my fingers and toes that the corrections in KB4032188 will continue through future update nightmares.
