Windows 10: This application only runs under WinPE or WinRE (Explorer)

Hello all,

I just got a new PC, installed Windows 10, updated them and I cannot seem to use Explorer within any apps.

So example even in Visual Studio if I click browse I get the error message "This application only runs under WinPE or WinRE" as seen in the attachment.
It's the same if I create a .bat file and call a certian let's say drive to open. Or in any other app.

I did a bunch of Googeling but am unable to find a solution. The only one I found stated to replace the explorer.exe in C:/Windows/system32 with the one found in C:/Windows. I replaced it, but it has no effect. If I just simply click on the Explorer.exe that is located in the system32 directory I get the same error, after replacing it it opens up the explorer but still no software can use explorer.exe

It's Windows 10 Pro 1909 (18363.815).

Any help is greatly appreciated since this is driving me mad.

:)

 

Add packages to WinPE version 10.0.15063.0

I am unable to add any packages to my WinPE wim file using DISM.

I consistently get the following error:

Error: 0x800f081e

The specified package is not applicable to this image

Does anyone have any suggestions or workarounds?
