Windows 10: Updates may have caused a WINDOWS problem

On July 13 I received some MSN Updates: KB5038182, KB5028938 [this one seemed to have been issued twice] and MSRT.After the Restart, I noticed that my Taskbar had turned white. Going to "Personalisation", I found I couldn't change anything to where it should be. I'm staving off removing these Updates for a while in case there's a further Update.I vaguely recall something like this back with Win 10, and having to do a Repair of Windows. I've checked the Graphics Driver.Any help, please?

:)

 

firefox and IE will cause problems?

could there be any reasonable explanation why firefox and ie would cause problems?

oh, and when the machine crashes it is the blue screen of death and when windows recovers it suggests bios update. this is a machine that hasnt been upgraded driver wise or bios wise, yet they insist it is firefox. give me a break.
