Well I have fixed it.

Quite a PITA to do as well

I renamed WinSXS to WinSXSxx and copied WinSXS from my home PC

Then I exported the WinSXS section of the registry, checked ALL of the calls
were the correct path and copied onto the temporary F:

Then refitted the drive, imported the Reg files and it worked!

It can go back to work now

Just have a weird crash to fix on the home PC now
