Windows 10: New windows 10 update - video card and sound issues

There was some sort of update this past week, my system changed settings and now my video and audio are messed up. i cant access some of the features of my video card, and its trying to output audio through the hdmi output. I had that disabled before. nvidia control panel is not accessible when i rightclick anymore. and isnt set as the default. i only get windows control panel display settings, so i cant resize my screen. i hate updates all the time. leave stuff alone. I had to do a system restore to get it working the way i wanted it. and now it while i was away from the computer it updated again and i cant use my computer. i have to do a system restore again? any update that changes the system settings shouldnt automatically take affect.
