A system restore did it. Yay!

I suspect that Malwarebytes deleted some key Windows files so I won't be using that again.

Clicking the Windows icon does nothing. Applies to the Search Windows bar, date, volume and action center.

 

Window + Q also doesn't work.

 

Application shortcuts, right click and the upwards arrow on the right work.

 

Tried multiple restarts, I am completely lost. HELP!

Please quote if you want a person to reply, they won't get a notification otherwise.

Trying System File Checker right now.

It says:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

 

What do I do?
