In this case, does the miktex installation work without being admin?

I checked the Windows 10 Pro box and ran LyX in:
non administrator mode and it reported: "Unavailable" for Article.cls

When you reinstalled LyX did you retain your preferences? If so, then try
renaming the file
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3
to (say)
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3old
and then start LyX. This will create a pristine LyX2.3 folder and

l3backend was the only missing package I was aware of. There are various MiKTeX

they're at

window): kpsewhich article.cls

As suspected MikTeX sees it
c:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin>kpsewhich.exe article.cls
