GUI not launching on Windows 10 start

[Matthew Buckley]

Whenever I launch Windows 10 the GUI does not start up, but the command prompt does. Entering "explorer" into the command prompt then launches the GUI. I believe this to be due to a registry error, as I was recently facing issues with command prompt and so attempted to reset all relevant registry entries to default using the cmd.reg file available here. I believe I may have changed one registry too many, and have pasted below my current registry settings - are there any I can change to fix this issue? Thanks!
