This is not windows explorer, open windows explorer & browse to the folders whose address is showing in address bar in those pics.
Go inside windows administrative tools folder & compare the shortcuts inside with the pic I posted.
It's already selected. Can you open it up and post the screenshots of the properties>>>> Advanced here
When I search for calculator, this shows up
Though calculator does open up like I mentioned before but earlier it showed only calculator and not all the long name (maybe system name or something) like it's showing now. What do you think is wrong?
At this point, you might as well format and reinstall Windows. Not worth so much hassle.
I agree, your windows install seem to be broken at this point. For future reference, next time when you fresh install windows don't run any "tweak/optimization/privacy" script & instead after checking that everything is working as it should use a disk imaging software like macrium reflect free or aomei backupper free to create a system image (also confirm it works by restoring it afterwards) before experimenting/tweaking with windows.
Can you post the full image, which shows whether its read only or not in your system and what does the advanced tab say?
About disk imaging software, they will copy the entire c drive somewhere which has windows?
It is same as yours.
Basically yes but not just C drive but also the additional small hidden system partitions which are required for windows boot. I suggest to watch some youtube videos like below & experiment on a spare hdd/ssd with no important data first to get some experience.
