So in the middle of the day (worked fine in the morning), I come to find out that all the crap listed in my Title starts to happen. Internet Explorer 11 also doesn't fully function: some sites fail to load or are incomplete. I am at my wit's end as I've already tried a number of "fixes" to no avail. Non-windows System tray icons function correctly (eg. Steam, Outlook 2013, nVidia, etc.)
Everything works fine in SAFE mode, but that doesn't help me at all. I'm pretty sure I'm screwed because if a System Restore doesn't fix it, what short of a reset/reinstall of Windows 10 will?
Please tell me someone has something as I really don't want to do that. One "different" thing I have is that my Users folder is located away from my OS (C:) drive due to space restrictions of the SSD. Nothing has gone wrong in the 1 year I've had Windows 10 up until now.
Edit: Firefox became broke from Restores and I find out I can't even download files in IE 11. My PC is seriously borked. Had to get a USB from another PC.
Edit 2: This is the following error from Event Viewer whenever I try to Right-click something on the taskbar, if it helps. Geez, it looks like it's just another Windows 10 app that fails, argh.

Try this, I found it here http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7808-dism-repair-windows-10-image.html
Open cmd
prompt as admin, then
dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
It's normal for them to hang at 20% for a long time so just wait.
