Windows 10: Start, Cortana,Edge & Search Menu

Hi, can anyone help me out with this?

Start, Cortana, Edge & Search Menu are no longer working correctly after downloading Windows 10 Pro 1903 OS Build 18362.329

32 bitX64 for 86 based systems(KB 4512941) Aug 30 update.

I've still got the start button & search bar but it is incredibly slow & tedious to type anything in search bar, Cortana doesn't work at all,

Edge is very hit & miss & keeps on kicking me off the net all the time. And the search suggestions don't even come up at all anymore

I've tried using the start menu troubleshooter which showed corrupted tile database which was fixed, also tried to download Windows Store App troubleshooter but it wouldn't install. I've also checked for Windows Updates & run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter but it said that everything was up to date.

Is there any way of fixing this? Or any work around it? Or would it be better to roll back to an earlier upgrade until these problems have been sorted out?

I've done a bit of searching and a lot of people seem to have the same problems but no solutions to them.


Thanks

Des Brown
