Windows 7: Connected to the internet, but IE won't connect

Okay, this happened last night. I was on youtube and it was fullscreen, so without me knowing, in the background it was asking if I wanted to postpone an update, of course I didnt know this was happening so it updated itself. The screen went black and froze. I couldnt turn it off or anything. So I just took out the battery and turned it back on. As it was re-booting it was setting up an update. So i was like crap.. remembering how everything always says dont turn off the power when updating etc. And I logged on, connected to the internet just fine. But now IE won't connect. But when I open IE and if I click the little mail button to check my email. That still works! So it proves I AM connected. but IE wont for some reason. Anyone know of anyway to fix this problem?

Have you tried to finish the updates???

Yes I have. Nothing seems to work):

Open up the file browser and type in http://windows.micro soft.com/en-US/windows/home no space.

Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage
everytime, for any website
Diagnose Connection Problems doesn't help at all either

Control Panel/Internet Options/Connections tab/LAN settings

See if Proxy server is checked. If so, uncheck it. Then scan for malware using malwarebytes.

There's no proxy either

Is ie showing up under add remove programs or windows features??

Windows Features

uninstall it using windows features reboot then reinstall it
