Windows 10: Icons missing, file properties won't open, empty control panel, unable to restore computer...

2 days after updating to Windows 10 20H2, this happened:









It seems the update messed up with my configurations maybe? and broke explorer.exe --


-I've tried every solution on the internet, this is NOT a simple issue;

>SFC cmd admin

>Restore Health cmd admin

>Rolled back updates, reinstalled, rolled back again after nothing happened
>Tablet mode off

>Uninstalled all graphic drivers, reinstalled them, deactivated one, then the other, then went back to having the 2 updated and enabled. nothing happened.

>Virus check clean

*and other things that i don't remember anymore*


-I also can not do a Repair Installation of Windows 10 because... it just says so in the setup.


I saw that a lot of other people have had this issue in these forums and apparently have found no solution other than doing a clean install of Windows 10, which is something I'm really trying to avoid it would be a LOT of work to put things where they stand today...


Please help if you can!!

Thank you

Mail Icon missing in Windows 10 Control Panel

Hello,

In most cases, making changes to your email profile will require you to do it using the
Mail icon in the Control Panel. If the icon is missing, installing available

Windows updates can help you fix issues with missing icons in the Control Panel. To better assist you, we need the answers to the following questions:

• Is your computer connected to a domain?
• Are you using the Exchange server on your email?

In the meantime, we suggest using the search box in the Control Panel window and
type Mail to see if the applet will appear.

We are looking forward to your response.
