Windows 10: Win 10 laptop the UPDATE 3/10/20

My laptop had Win 10 installed when I bought it 2 yr ago. I installed win 7 card games 'cause I prefer them to recent ver. They worked fine for ~ 2 yr. In Jan came update attempts which failed. In Feb came a new window re. Updates which I kept putting off until later. A few days ago the update window from hell finally caught me asleep and installed itself without my authorization. So my biggest complaint that I've discovered is that all those comfy card games which fill my lonely hours DON'T WORK. Solitare.exe, spidersolitare.exe, freecell.eve, etc. just sit there [ they were removed from the listings in the start menu ]. Attempts to fix the issue with the compatability troubleshtr consistently yielded an error window. I found a backdoor into the compatability troubleshtrer that actually attempted to fix the issue – said it did and I should try it – I did that a few times and then tried hopefully to run the games all to no solution – still no action. In the compatability troubleshtr there seems to be no further option if the FIX didn't work, so I was left frustrated. I downloaded the repair tool suggested above – restoro.eve – ran that and still no progress. I happened to run McAfee AV which then reported numerous files in restoro that needed quarantine, so I uninstalled that. I can easily find the game .exe files w/ file explorer so I know those files are OK - obtained them a couple yr ago on the net. They might have been altered by ? to work on the basic initial Win 10 . Sorry, I don't like all the bells & whistles of the newer versions.


Any way to make these work again ? Or do I have to wait for somebody to make a workaround ?

Shit, I used some doohickey to disable Win Store and remove some apps after installing Win 10 - now this update keeps failing to install.
