I would try running dism and sfc (system file checker), but after
rebooting the computer.  If your OS drive is a spinner, I would also run
"chkdsk c: /r" to make sure all its sectors can be reliably accessed.

You could check if you can rollback the Windows update.  Or, if you
scheduled image backups (manual backups means they don't get done), you
could restore your drive(s) to a prior state before the update.  Lastly,
you could copy all your data files off the drive(s), and do a fresh
install of Windows 10 to step on all the crap that has polluted it over
the years, do all the Windows updates (I would suggest one at a time,
not a whole slew at once), and then install your software followed by
restoring your data.

I try to build for an 8-year lifecycle; however, Microsoft isn't coming
out with Windows 12 this fall, and is instead pushing another big
Windows 11 update.  "The Year of the Windows 11 PC Refresh."  I dislike
Windows 11, so will stick with Windows 10 regardless of it losing
support this October.  Dropped support doesn't stop the computer from
working.  If I don't like Window 12, I'm switching to Linux Mint.  Most
of what I use on Windows has counterparts on Linux.

If Microsoft ends security updates in Oct 2025 for Windows 10, I'll have
to find a 3rd-party anti-malware program should Windows Defender not get
updated.

I have tended to skip versions of Windows.  Microsoft seems to go
through good-bad-good-bad cycles, like:

Windows XP     - good
Windows Vista  - bad
Windows 7      - good
Windows 8      - bad
Windows 10     - good
Windows 11     - bad
Windows 12     - who knows
