You didn’t read my list of things disabled. All drives are unavailable. You can’t run programs from the start menu. That’s also true in safe mode.
Now I’m sure there’s a way to get something done from the command line, but if you are supporting a business and people are standing over your shoulder, you do what you know will get the job done without experimenting.
a windows reinstall deletes and replaces all system files and rebuilds the registry from scratch. The bad side effect is you have to reinstall all your programs. In a business environment that mostly means Office, which takes about ten minutes.
At my business, it is simply a matter of restoring from an image. No reinstallation needed.
But we are talking about home and personal machines here, and a reinstall is burning down the house to get rid of the mice.
