Windows 10: Windows 10 update has totally messed up my system

Thanks to an overnight update I woke this morning to find myself with effectively a completely new Windows system. Everything had gone ... my taskbar, my documents, my links to other home computers, my browser bookmarks, my previous browser sessions. And it couldn't log me into Dropbox, which caused me enormous problems. Everything I touched came up with a bone-headed tutorial of some kind as if this was the first time I'd ever run a Windows system or opened the various browsers. Naturally Edge had become my default browser rather than my previous Firefox. I've since reconstructed my task

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Cumulative Update KB4338819 Windows 10 v1803 Build 17134.165 - July 10

This update totally destroyed me, which was not totally unexpected.

I have noticed that update issues are fairly common occurrences.

Microsoft must have a site that lists step by step actions that they want you to take when Windows 10 Updates and trashes a system?

Does such a site exist? Where do I go to get help?
