Windows 10: Several Programs no longer work after update .NET framework error

After the last Windows 10 update, I got several "This application requires one of the following versions of the .NET Framework version 4.0..." errors.


Several mission-critical programs no longer worked. When I hit "yes" at the error prompt to install the .NET Framework version, it updated to the current version, but I still got the same error messages.


I used System Restore to get back to before the update. That worked. Unfortunately, Windows reinstalled the update while I was away from my computer.


System Restore no longer gives me the option to restore to before the update.


Help!

:)

 

Microsoft .Net Framework

Basically, to sum up what I can tell:
-The application(s) that crashed use .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5.
-First error is it getting nothing when it expected something (not very telling).
-Second error occured in "System.Data.SQLite" which is not .NET Framework. I repeat, not .NET Framework.
-SQLite is is a GNU licenced, free to use library.
-Any .NET-compiled service or process could be causing the error. If you watch the Task Manager, you might be able to tell which process closes after you click on "Quit."

I suggest you search your computer for sqlite*.dll. Whatever programs it is found in close proximity to are most likely the culprits for the crashes.
