Problems after Windows 10 update on 11/20/17 - Microsoft Community


since windows did automatic update on 11/20/17, laptop has not worked @ all.  start, entire pc has been wiped clean of pictures, documents, desktop icons (except few short cuts), including shortcut totalav virus protection, plus google browser (which reinstalled.)

i tried system restore can't 1 prior update.  friend suggested perhaps there rootkit virus involved , original desktop , library hidden under new one.  however, scans don't find anything.  friend said cost $180 @ pc doctor problem update resolved , still not work right.

i'm 69 , computer knowledge strictly seat of pants.  please, please help!  tyia
