Windows 10: Which update broke Windows 10 this time?

Since the latest round of updates, Windows Explorer or file explorer or whatever you're calling it now freezes up, has a green progress bar that slowly creeps along the address bar, and has basically rendered the program useless. Also, I can no longer get media to display in the preview pane can I please just have my Windows 7 back?. It seems every update causes chaos in one form or another. I actually gave up on one of my laptops after a previous update killed it with a perpetual BSOD back in May. This is unacceptable. I work from home, and I need my computer - that's right, MY computer, to WORK when I need it. Somebody HELP?!
