Is System Restore active on your system? If so, hold down the shift key when you restart the system
and select the recovery mode when your system restarts.
If you have no restorepoints, hopefully you have an image backup to restore your system.

Apparently it wasn't.  I tried that earlier and no restore points were available.  I might have had an image on my second hard drive but I don't know how long ago it was backed up to it.

Unfortunately at this point it's too late to stress the importance of making regular image backups. I also don't have any easy fix
to reverse this problem.

Yeah I know.  Thanks for trying.  I'm pretty sure the tool corruption just messed everything up.  Luckily most my stuff is on my second and third HDD but some of my most important stuff is on my primary SSD that looks like what was messed up.
