    Add another local account while signed into your main admin account that's corrupted(i didn't have to put an email just a name of your choice and password), after you add it this should be the admin account now still with all of your apps and settings, then re-add your main info(email you want to become the admin again with and make it admin from the local account that's temporarily the admin) , then open the account recover your settings and apps with this account(make sure everything is recoverable on the proper account name) then delete the local user this worked for me. FYI after you've made sure everything is restored in the proper account you have to shut down to sign out the local account you created as temp account (that had the stuck explorer and unusable search and start menu along with the old Taskbar). Good luck
