Windows 10: explorer kinda broken.

I'm getting the good ol black screen with just a cursor after logging in thing and it's driving me fucking crazy. I thought it was some windows update so I uninstalled most recent updates yet problem remains. I updated to the latest version and problems still there. I uninstalled the most recent applications I've installed that I suspected could cause this and not fixed. I troubleshot and that fixed nothing either. I followed youtube tutorials and yeap. Nothing works. I think the explorer.exe thing itself might be corrupt or some shit since I just realized when 1/10 when times it's not a black screen and when I wanna open some file or select it/try to delete it that's in downloads or something explorer just freezes up. How do I fix this?

My ctrl key is broken (kinda)

I have just joined this form because my ctrl key is kinda broken. Whenever I press it, it has a delay and then goes for like 3 seconds and stops. This is no major problem just quite annoying. Thank you for reading this.

Is my graphics card broken?

UPDATE: Please see here.

I have a Sapphire HD 4830.

When I boot into XP all is initially fine and I am able to see the desktop.

However, when I click on the start bar and navigate a few steps, I receive an immediate white screen of death and a total irrecoverable lock-up.

I am confused about what this could mean and I would be grateful for any suggestions on the best course of action to test and repair the problem.

Does this sort of issue suggest that the graphics card is irretrievably broken?
