dwm_rdr.dllTo make matters worse, SCT and classictheme.exe both offer no way to reinstall it. They both think that all dependencies are satisfied, and I have not figured out how to convince them that this is not true. So I have no desktop window manager now. I can still run things from terminal by invoking Task Manager through CTL-ALT-DEL, but it's goddamn tedious, and I wasted a whole day troubleshooting this because I expected the solution to be simpler than it has turned out to be. If you had built a proper installer, I could have easily launched it from terminal and fixed everything in a minute.
I need to know where you got 'dwm_rdr.dll' from (or how to make SCT believe it was never installed, so I can repeat the installation and place it in the proper path.)
SCT isn't involved in fixing your Windows installation, it doesn't touch any DLL's. Updating Windows to 1909 is your only option, that recovers Windows. If you can't access Windows Update you can do this:
1. Use the Windows MCT to create a 1909 installer USB
2. Using Task Manager open setup.exe on the USB
3. "Upgrade" to Windows 10 1909
I will address the other issues you mentioned when I have a working desktop again. (And that fucking batch file needs to be taken down before it hurts somebody else.)
Install - Places the files: dwmapi.dll, dwmapi32.dll and dwm_rdr.dll under %SYSTEMROOT% and applies the Classic Theme upon the next login. We may need these later on.

Taking the batch file down is not my problem.
