This is a visual of what I see when I look at the visual/text editor and what the console says. It says tinymce not defined becasue I have the plugin deactivated ATM.
Try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false); to your wp-config.php file just below the define('DB_HOST' line.
To do so, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and edit the file with a plain text editor.

I have already done that thanks though. It didn’t make a difference.
Ok, this time try downloading WordPress again, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings.
Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.
I made a backup just to be safe, and then I deleted everything but wp-content and wp-config, re-uploaded all but wp-content from a new 4.5.3 wordpress download and I then reloaded my wordpress dashboard and nothing changed.
And you can confirm that you still see the same issue with absolutely no plugins activated and the Twenty Sixteen theme enabled?
Yes, I have the Twenty Sixteen theme active and 9/9 inactive plugins.
Is there a way to completely reinstall wordpress while saving my site content?
That’s what you already tried two replies ago. Let’s see if it’s your browser or not now.
First, please make sure that your browser is up to date by visiting https://whatbrowser.org/
If it is not, please try updating your browser or switching to a different browser.
If it is, please do these two things:
1. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies.
2. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.
Please let us know how each step goes for you, and which browser (and version of) you’re using if you’re still having trouble.
It says that I am using Chrome 52 and currently up to date.
After doing step 1, clearing all cachce and cookies nothing changed,
after doing step 2, disabling my 2 extensions, I cleared cookies and cache and the only thing that happened was it wouldn’t let me sign in for a few attempts saying I had cookies disabled. But it then let me in.
Also I tried using Firefox instead of Chrome and nothing happened.
And still the same problem with all add-ons disabled?
Yes, All add-ons, plugins and non-default themes are disabled in wordpress and all extensions are disabled in chrome and chrome is up to date. I also still have the (‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); in wp-config.
Ok, you’re going to have do some digging on the server’s side then, make sure that all directories (like /wp-includes/) are set to 755, and all files (like /wp-includes/load.php) are set to 644.

The post that you linked specified more towards checking the index.php and css files, all the core folders are at 755 and as far as I could see, the main files were all 644. Am I supposed to check every file?
