Windows 10: Can't access device manager after update

Since the new update, I can not access device manager or the control panel. I can't restore or back up or anything. I've tried the CMD, but windows will not let me do anything as it says I have to be in the administrator mode. I am in the administrator mode. Is there anyway to get access besides totally wiping my drive?

:)
