Windows 10: Update problems, alll Adobe programs unusable

No idea what happened, but overnight I am running into a lot of problems on my new laptop (I did not install any new programs recently). Can't open any Adobe programs, which is super shitty since I need them for my work. Keep getting all sorts of error codes.

When I try to update Windows, I get this error message every time. I can't even click on 'view update history' or 'advanced options' because it just gets stuck and then does nothing.

I've tried googling the error code and followed all sorts of tutorials but nothing has worked. I even installed DriverEasy to update all my drivers, but that didn't change anything.

What do I do? I don't really feel like resetting Windows since it took me forever to set everything up and install all my necessary programs...
