Windows 10: How Do I Fix Issues With Apps and Programs in Windows 10 After System Update

After Windows 10 performed an automatic update overnight on 3/10/21, I have no sound and my camera cannot be detected. Brave browser also will not open and Zoom app cannot detect my computer or audio. I tried the Windows 10 troubleshooter but it was unable to fix my issues. I also tried using restore point back to the previous day before the updates but this did not fix the problem. My PC was working fine last night before I went to bed and I woke up to numerous issues this morning. How can I fix these issues?


Thanks!

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows insider program update issue

well , in the off chance that anyone was curious as to this issue, i fixed it without the above steps....i retried it today, but remembered that i have My RAM overclocked from 1333mhz, to 1866mhz.

I dropped it back down to its stock speeds, and it breezed right though the update with no issues what so ever. problem solved.
