But yeah, I suggest you to reinstall your Windows, if everything else fails. It will take you a day, but everything will work like a charm, unless you install faulty drivers. But oh well, at least that'd narrow the search circle to drivers.
Hate to break it to you but you're too late mate.
I did a System Restore to before I did a batch of updates 2 days ago and it's all fixed.
I suspect it was the display driver update from 2011 that Windows Update suddenly decided in 2016 was important for me to install, and like an idiot, I let it install. Or perhaps it was the manual update I installed to fix Windows Update so I could actually check for updates... Either way, it's all good.
Except Windows Explorer. I suspect it's still crashy, because that one popped up before the updates. In fact it's what made me decide to try to get updates working again. Load of help that ended up being, eh?
