Windows 10: System32 Bad Image

Hey,A little over a week ago my pc had an update and rebooted. However, unlike most updates, this one came with an error. When my PC was done rebooting I got a message saying "C:\Windows\System32\cdp.dll" and then I was unable to access my start menu/taskbar. I attempted to replace the "cdp.dll" file, but I was unable to because I need permission from Trustedinstaller. And I don't know of any way to uninstall the update. I cant access settings AT ALL, and I tried multiple options on command prompt but nothing works.
