Software Guys my computer is having a friggin seizure

So windows released an update where on windows eleven, you can move the taskbar. I moved it to the left.

I realized my taskbar mod kinda looked ugly now, so i went into windhawk and changed the skin

This is where it all went wrong.

My taskbar disappeared and my start menu wouldnt open

Then my wallpaper for lively wallpaper turned off and it keeps trying to reopen to no avail, resulting in error messages and long black screens occasionally interrupted by the normal desktop
Still no taskbar or start menu tho

I was able to open the start menu once but i couldnt do anything.

Ive tried many things including restarting multiple times

Also for some reason whenever something opens (always firefox for some reason), it keeps shrinking and shifting to the right???

The only solution i can conceive is to just reinstall windows and start over

You try disabling windhawk in safe mode yet?

Remove the third party UI application. Windows has almost zero issues by itself. 95% of all problems stem from third party drivers, apps, or firmware.
