Windows 10 settings and start menu

[LiquidZero]

Windows is a headache. I need help. Pro, 64 bit Windows 10. Tied to a domain. Using local administrator doesn't matter. Creating a new admin doesn't matter. Same issue persists. Errors when launching edge or Internet explorer, and even PNG files stating "class not registered". When opened. Select taskbar icons for Edge and something else are blank, and do nothing. No settings prompt will open. No network settings. No security settings. Display settings. Antivirus. Sound. Nada. Control panel, yes. But the Windows 10 settings GUI will not be seen from anywhere. Also, no Start menu. No CTRL+ESC. No Windows+X. No right click. So no option for safe mode.  Malwarebutes found nothing. There's no high CPU usage (except one instance with OneDrive setup logging 99% CPU usage, but I put a stop to that. 

 

Any thoughts or ideas? This happens on all domain and local administrator accounts, envelope a newly created local administrator account, except the domain administrator account. We deleted domain users local storage for account profiles (c:\users\%profilename%), created new domain account logins, new local animator accounts, still does the same with all accounts. 

 

Using the domain admin, we verified the late updates were installed and checked antivirus history. Even the system event logs don't indicate any drastic errors. 

 

This system was not updated from Windows 7. A clean install of Windows 10 Pro about a month ago was performed. The OS is on a 120GB SSD, and there's another 1TB as secondary storage. 12 GB of DDR3 RAM. It's an older i5, quad core CPU. No major applications installed. No additional hardware for standard desktops. 

 

Any and all help is welcome.

SFC check finds no issues. DISM finished, but no change to state of system.

Do a new clean install and don't connect to internet during it until posting to desktop, then connect to the internet via Ethernet/WiFi and install updates of windows before you touch any applications or files.

 

EDIT: Make sure you have the latest media creation tool on a usb drive.

One time it happened to install a 32-bit even though my key was 64-bit pro.

Sounds broken, do a clean install.

Make sure you only have the SSD plugged in while doing so.
