Windows 10: Problem with File explorer and Settings, and search button

Okay, so a few things i need to point out with this windows 10 situation before i start, I have been slightly ignoring an issue i had for like almost a monthwhich is the file explorer issue.

The issue is basically this:
-I cannot open file explorer through the taskbar icontried unpinning and pinning, doesn't work, it crashes
-I can open file explorer through cmd.exe, or pressing it on the start button or the search buttonwhich now doesnt work, as of July 26,2020for reference
-I cannot right click on any file inside file explorerit crashes the explorer, or the desktop, except the recycle bin. so for the past few weeks ive just been settling with the settings that are above the file explorer such as copy,paste,rename etc. stuff you can usually do with the rightclick button.
-As of today7/26/2020 the search button does not display when i click on it from the taskbar
-also today, the settings application cannot open and just crashes, i want to open the updates and security, or the troubleshooter, but i can't even get to it because of this.

I feel like my computer is slowly breaking for some reason and i'm not even doing anything much, except using Adobe Photoshop, Google Chrome, and Steam. If you guys have any idea how to fix this please : I'm literally crying from these problems and the solutions i've found on the internet have not helped
PS:a thing i found/tried:
-I tried to open the settings app through cmd.exe by putting "start ms-settings:" and it doesn't open settings, but shows a window pop up "File system error -2147219196"

Search Content of MHT files

Hi David,

Most probably, this is a problem with the search and indexing of your Windows 10 computer. For us to provide the best resolution possible, we would like to clarify the following:

• Are you trying to search the content of MHT files using Cortana?
• Have you tried searching it using the File Explorer?
• Are you using a third-party app to search for the content of MHT files?

As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the troubleshooter for search and indexing. To run the Search and Indexing troubleshooter, follow these steps:

• Click the Start button and select the Settings
  icon.
• Choose Update & Security from the list.
• Click Troubleshoot in the left pane of the window.
• Under Find and fix other problems.
• Select Search and Indexing and click Run the troubleshooter.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

 

File Explorer Search Not Working


I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.
