Windows 10: june 2020 windows 10 updates seems to have corrupted my settings?

Hello - I bought a Windows 10 laptop 3 weeks back. I installed Google Chrome as browser and arranged many bookmarks/shortcuts etc. I also transferred I-Tunes over from my previous laptop and all was working ok until last night there were a number of automatic windows 10 updates installed. Since then, I can log on ok but my browser is back to default. I-Tunes is missing from my screen albeit I've found it within 'C-Drive' the C-drive seems to be fairly full. N.B. at the end if the updates there seemed to be a VERY brief error message with no time to read but it mentioned something about profile not being found..i think.


Can anyone advise what's happened and if it's possible to reset my laptop back to what it was? You've probably gathered i'm not a tech person so apologies if this is obvious! I have searched online and there are many similar issues with differing responses so thought i'd try this.


Many thanks in advance.

:)

 

DirectX June Update

Microsoft has released an updated version of DirectX for June, although it isn’t clear whether the update is just for DirectX 9.0c or for DirectX 10 on Vista as well. Regardless of this, it is still recommended that Vista users update their systems because Vista will benefit from any DirectX 9.0c fixes when playing DirectX 9 games. The web installer is only for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions), whilst the redistributable version will also work with Vista. The download links are listed below:

• Web installer for Windows 2000, XP and 2003: download [44KB - 41.4MB]
• Redistributable installer for Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista: download [53.6MB]

Windows 10 wont update

Have you tried the second step?

(Searching for the error message e.g.

windows update database corrupt

is also a useful approach- e.g. finds
Win 10 Update Database Corruption Solved - Windows 10 Forums
- where the next step is the one I suggested above).
