If you have a backup of your private keys or wallet you have nothing to worry about.
I would suggest to do the simplest thing, which would be to reinstall Bitcoin Core.

You could also post a a better description of your problem. What exactly happens when you try to open your wallet software?

The debug log would help.

Also, go into the data directory and copy the wallet.dat file to a safe location before doing anything.

Now be a good idea to take backup of your keys/wallet for in-case something like this happens in future you wouldn't risk losing your coins. And you'll also have an option to spend your funds using another wallet.

I'm glad you got your Bitcoin back.
Make a backup, encrypt your wallet and save it on a USB stick.
In this way no risk, losing your Bitcoins.
Also, you can use a paper wallet.
