Windows 10: Multiple Programs not Opening and Update problems

It all started few days ago . My desktop was contiunously refreshing . I saw a video and stopped 2 services from running. Then it stopped refreshing. But was not able to open file explorer . Thought it was due to some update error and tried to update windows after disc cleanupdidnt have storage space . It will download, install but when i restart it to 'undoing changes' and the update fails. And many of my programs like eclipse, appium etc are not opening.But few others are opening .Images like png and jpg images are not opening and throwing file error .And File explorer is also opening now


Tried using troubleshooter ,that is also throwing error. Tried sfc /scannow in cmd prompt, after 98% it stops and doesnt work either .Tried in safe mode too.But that didnt help either.


Can you tell me what is wrong with my system? Did i delete some important files ? :-


Will Upgrade using Windows ISO solve this problem? I downloaded the tool.But when i run , it tells me to free up space. How much space is needed to run this? ALso if i choose ISO file option, should i burn it to advd and then only use it to install on my pc? I have a Surface Pro with Edition: Windows 10 Pro Version: 1803 OS Build: 17134.950

Please help!

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
