After the latest huge pile of Windows Updates I get this error message when I try to run a game that was previously working. I've re-installed DirectX and the driver for the graphics card - not change. Is it possible to roll back to a working version of DirectX?

So, this morning Windows decided I wasn't having enough fun in my life, and decided to fuck with me.
Yesterday, it had updated but I had not yet restarted. I hadn't scheduled it - in fact the schedule window was open so I could dictate when I wanted the thing to update. When I woke up, I saw...

Hi everyone, I decided to wind back my install of windows 10 to my previous version, windows 7 after getting fed up with the start/cortana problem and having to reboot all of the time with f8.
However, when it finally finished the boot menu came up with

When the upgrade to build 10586 showed up on my little test laptop, I installed it.
But I ran into all kind of problems and in the end I clicked on 'Go back to previous version' and that is where I now am, somewhere on W10, before build 10586.
I have more time now and I want to try it gain. But...
Windows 10 is terrible i'm just going to come out and say that right away, I wish I had never upgraded. windows 7 worked just fine I have no Idea why I upgraded. I've been having a plethora of problems and Microsoft doesn't seem too keen on helping me unless I pay them ungodly sums of money (for...

I have the same WiFi issue as many (installing Windows 10 no longer allows me to connect wirelessly). I can connect with an Ethernet cable. I have tried all of the "fixes" I've seen but nothing has worked. The worse news is that now I can't rollback to Windows 7 Pro because some files have...
