Windows 10: Windows messed up my Adobe -- AGAIN

Earlier this month Microsoft decided to update my Windows, and, as has happened so many times in the past, it corrupted some modules of my Adobe Creative Suite. I've tried reinstalling the corrupted modules several times -- nothing.


How do I fix this?


Why does this keep happening?


How can I stop it from happening again?
