I guess I just figured out what the troubleshooter meant when it had the exclamation mark next to "DWM is disabled". It meant that it was detected but not fixed even though I told it apply repairs automatically... Sorry if I mislead you in any way... ^^;

Now Aero SOMETIMES works on start, but everything's sluggish and Aero will usually crash back to Basic. Restarting still resolves the issue. I'll probably clean install later... But what a pain reinstalling the programs will be... ugh...
Basically, the troubleshooter is having a problem enabling the window manager...

Rephrase: DWM.exe does not start at initial boot, only shows up as a process after restart.

This was fixed when I found a BIOS update for my motherboard from 2015. I had v1.6 while the most recent was v2.0. It also fixed my incompatibility with Windows 10.
