Hello brat02

Firstly make sure windows search is enabled in windows features if not tick and reboot - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5462-windows-features-enable-disable.html -

Or http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/25343-windows-search-turn-off.html

Run this up to 3 times or until the result comes back clear - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

Ive not heard of a windows update doing this before, if all else fails do you have a system restore point available before you did the updates - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html
