Windows 10: Cannot Uninstall Windows 10 Updates and other problems caused by Updating Win 10

I have a 4 year old Thinkpad that's running Window 10 Home. It was upgrades from Windows 7 more than 1 year ago and now has an SSD in-place of the old HDD.


One week ago I ran and installed the available Windows 10 updates. Since then I have experienced several problems and would like your help to get my machine running properly. They are:

• Cannot delete any updates
• Screen flickering
• Cannot see any of my installed apps in "Windows Settings"
• Error message 0xc000012f C:Windowssystem32Msc.dll shows up when the laptop is booted up.
• Cannot open any MS office documents Word; Excel etc even though a paid-for Office 2003 is installed on the laptop andwhich ran perfectly before the updates - individual error messages showup when I attempt to open documents.
• On-screen notifications does not function.

• I've tried several attempts to correct the problem using suggestions found on this site and in Google, all to no avail!
• I run Bitdefender and Malwarerbytes and neither of them or CClean can find any Trojans or viruses.
• System Restore didn't find or correct the problem.

Short of performing a clean install of WIN 10 I'm at loss to know how to proceed to fix this problem that I firmly believe has been caused by Microsoft's updates, can you please help.


Thank you very much.
