Windows 10: No desktop after latest Cumulative update

Hello, last night I updated to the latest cumulative update ( KB4565503), however when I started my PC today, all I am greeted with is a black screen.

I can access the task manager with CTRL+ALT+DEL and can through that open up things like Firefox, a folder, etc. But I do not get a desktop, nor a start menu or anything like that.

If I restart explorer.exe, nothing changes.

If I try and open up the settings app, nothing at all happens.

If I go to manage user accounts and go to "Manager another account", then try and add a new user it comes up with an error "Class not registered"

I imagine that explorer or some related components have critically failed during the update that caused this.

Now I tried running a "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth"

and it reports back with "No component store corruption detected. The operation completed successfully".

I would very much prefer it if I didn't have to completely reinstall my pc, so what would you suggest I try to solve this?

I am currently on Windows 10 Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.388)

Thank you for any help.

Windows 10 - Some parts of the UI not working after the latest cumulative update

I'm running Windows 10 build 18362.295. Last day i checked for updates and installed the available cumulative update including the OS security updates. After the installation of these updates i started facing the below issues which happens often (sometime everything is working properly)

• Some parts of the GUI (on every window) is not working
  
• I'm not able to use my touchpad gesture controls
  
• Not able to click task bar icons, start button or anything on my task bar
  
• It automatically triggers right click
  

I tried these methods to solve the issue:

• Tried uninstalling the latest cumulative updates, visiting Installed updates. But it is not showing uninstall option. I also tried the command line method but that too didn't work.
  
• I ran these commands and restarted my PC,
  

As per View update history i have,

As per Installed Updates

I'm able to do all UI interaction using only keyboard, but not able to do the same using my external mouse or touch pad. As already mentioned these issues started after the recent updates. I tried searching google, but no where i found any useful information or problem similar to this.

Update

As pointed out by @john, i was not on the latest build. So i checked for updates again and installed updates.

Now the View Update History window shows this,

And Installed Updates window shows this,

I'm now on the latest build 18362.329
