If System Restore does not work, and your virus scanner is unable to fix the problems, and your backups do not help, then you may
need to reinstal Windows.
It is possible that you have a hardware problem that caused all of this.
As for your Dllcache folder allegedly being corrupt, if your system were not unwell, then I would expect that SFC would have been
able to correct that. Your unwell system might not be able to heal itself, which is why you may need to reinstal Windows.
Having said that, somebody else might know of a less drastic solution which will resolve the problem.
