Can anybody give me a helping hand?

Do what Doitsu suggests.
But then try doing an in-place reinstall of Windows, then with luck you won't have to re-install any 3rd party software - or not many at least (browsers if any). But, I suggest you
completely uninstall any 3rd party security suites before doing the reinstall
See ==>>
Installation & Upgrade Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
I've used that process on at least a dozen occasions on Win 7 and Win 10, only had a couple of failures - both times due to well-known 3rd party security suites. A couple had Sigil and all of them had one or more much 'larger' applications installed that were left intact (including registry settings) - such as MS Office, Autocad, QuarkXPress, Photoshop Lightroom, Mathcad, Calibre etc.
MS won't offer this option, because it's not guaranteed to deliver a near perfect
as advertised result, whereas their nuclear Refresh and Reset options will do that - but at the cost of losing everything except Windows itself.
