Hi, I accidentally broke my explorer.exe file and now whenever I start my computer or try to manually start explorer.exe I get a "Class not registered" error message. I've tried a lot of different things, I've tried doing a system restore to a previous version of Windows to a few days before I broke it, but my computer refuses to go back to an earlier version of itself, even after I deleted my anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware, etc. I've tried many different solutions offered on Google, but none of the solutions seemed applicable to my situation. I've tried sfc /scannow in the Windows command line, I've tried a few different things in regedit, I've tried recovering my old explorer.exe file, but nothing works. Now I'm trying out Windows Repair v2.10.4 and it has been stuck on repair 10 for over 24 hours now. Here's a link to a screenshot of the repair:

BTW, one thing I need to know right away is should I stop the repair and skip this step or is repair 10 important in fixing explorer.exe, because in the description it says: "This will remove the policies that most infections set. Such as disabling the task manager, hiding the desktop, hijacking any exe that is run and many more." It sounds like since my desktop is hidden that repair 10 would be the solution to my problem, except that repair 10 (as of right now) is taking over 24 hours to complete. Is it stuck? How do I fix this?
