Windows 10: Programs Can't Be Opened and/or Uninstalled After Updating Windows KB 4560960: "Windows...

Hi.
So, last night I was checking for updates using Windows Update, and unfortunately I decided to update my Windows 10 Education. There were two updates:

and I just instinctively installed them.


This afternoon, I was trying to open Remote Mouse a third-party app via desktop shortcut. Nothing happened, so I tried a few times. Then I tried opening the executable file directly in the install directory. That's when Windows gave me this message:"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files x86\Remote Mouse\RemoteMouse.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

That's SO WEIRD because how can't Windows find it when I freaking double clicked on the exe file? Like, IT'S THERE.


That's not the worst part. The worst part is, it's happening to a lot of my programs, like:

- Daemon Tools



- Intel Rapid Storage



- Killer Network Manager




- Even Microsoft Office




SH**. Sorry, but I'm really frustrated right now.

I've tried reinstalling some of them to no avail. At some point I couldn't even uninstall them, becauseWindows couldn't find it same error.

I've somehow managed to reinstall Remote Mouse and get it to run without errors. I honestly don't know exactly how I did it, but what I remember I did was deleting the install dir on the Program Files dir, and I removed a lot of registry entries containing the words "remote mouse". Now, this method is really impractical if I want to reinstall all my "troubled" programs. I don't even know if it Remote Mouse was fixed this way.


I want to uninstall the Updates KB 4560960 to see if it's really the source of this issue, but apparently I can't.



I also can't exactly reinstall Windows 10 right now because I'm on mobile plan and my ISO is a pretty old version. It would take a lot of time and money hard to come by these days to reinstall Windows, update, install my programs some need internet connection.


So, please, if anyone has any suggestion, a fix, a trick, something, please tell me.

Also, if this issue is really caused by the latest Windows Update KB 4560960, can somebody at Microsoft please make a fix? Cause I'm currently on a dead end.

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading program list?!

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading the program list (It never even starts displaying any programs) and I believe it may be that a uninstall program messed up completely and Windows can't figure out what programs are installed because of it. What is the problem? Please?
