If you can uninstall the Windows Update that borked it or go back to a System Restore Point before the update, that would be cool.
There's a '
Show or Hide Windows Updates' tool that I use and run it before running the normal Windows Update, then hide the updates you don't want, then run the normal Windows Update and they won't be shown/not available..That also gives you time to research an update or updates to find out if there's any known issues/bugs before installing..You can 'unhide' any update that you've previously hidden at any time.
You can set a 'Metered Connection' in Windows to prevent Windows from automatically downloading and installing updates, then you have to do it manually..Open the Properties of your connection and turn on 'Set as metered connection'..Also in Windows Update, open the 'Advanced options' and turn off 'Download updates over metered connections.'
You can set the Show or Hide Updates tool to run automatically on a schedule if you want to by
Creating a Task for it in Task Manager to run, say, every day at 8:00am or whenever you want.
That is what I do.
