Windows 7 missing programs after installing W10 and going back to W7.

A few months ago I downloaded Windows 10. I immediately did not like Windows 10 so the next day I used the MS provided method to change back to Windows 7.

Since then I have noticed some problems.
1. There have been no updates sent from MS, nor can I find any by searching within W7 since downloading W10 and then quickly returning to W7.
2. At least the defrag program is missing, perhaps some others that I so far have not noticed.

I would appreciate some suggestions.

Hello Ray, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

Just to clarify, is it only the Disk Defragmenter shortcut missing from the Start Menu, or you can't find its "C:\Windows\System32\dfrgui.exe" file?
