Windows 10: Kindly asking for help, it's kinda urgent - Windows 10 Pro version 2004

https://preview.redd.it/e9w6u6l2rzk...bp&s=5cb35ea16fc8df18c052b87d392e6244592271ee

I cleaned up my Registry with CCleaner which I've been doing for a long time with no issues, but this time something got f**ed up and every icon has dissapeared and I get a catastrophic failure - error 0x8000fff. The PC still works as it was before, however I couldn't open any web-related feature/app until I played around with system restore to find a point where I could get it online.

Things I tried:
1) System restore
2) Booting into safe mode (it doesn't even get me to the log in screen)
3) Repair upgrade using ISO image from Microsoft

Is there any possible workaround other than a full format of my boot drive without me losing my data?

Screenshot is taken after repair upgrade failed to reinstall Windows over my current installation
Finally, I checked for malware but there is nothing to be found

Edit: I managed to boot it in safe mode, errors persist

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
