An OS re-install from thew boot menu does exactly that, at least if the apps are written right. Just be careful not to accidently do a Factory Default, which will want to wipe your data.

Yes indeed, an OS Re-install did NOT fix the issue, honestly no idea what is wrong with this thing, if I end up getting it working again, I'll be backing up daily, I didn't realise something could cause non-functionality like this.

An OS Re-install extracts the OS over the top of the existing installation and resets some settings and fixes some other common issues. It's not designed to handle problems that relate to things that a user may have done using SSH though.
