The rename operation probably failed because the script already moved it.
Running the command below should re-register it

Get-AppxPackage -Name *ShellExp* | % { Add-AppxPackage -Path "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode }

If that isn't working then your Windows install is corrupt and if dism and sfc are not working you're best off reinstalling Windows
