As far as your problem, I don't really have a solution, but you may have been tricked by that update thing. Maybe it was not Microsoft at all.

But if it was, there are myriad stories about updating problems. Perhaps try logging into your MS account and seeing what's there.

You are talking about Win 10, right? If you're a Win 7 holdout, that could be the problem. I have found that many odd behaviors sort themselves out eventually with Wn10.
