problems after last update (9 Feb 2016)

Hello,
I wonder if anyone here facing the same problems as I do after the last update on Feb 9th 2016.
My Windows version 10.0.10586

1. Took a long time to open apps after clicking its icon/shortcuts from the system tray
2. Can not open Settings > Update & Security --> it's never opened even after i waited for few hours.
3. Took a long time to attach files when you want to send an email...

Any idea what cause them?
I don't have a proper backup before the last update, so can not go back to the previous state.
i don't know how to redo the last update installation, because of problem #2... (via command prompt,is it possible?) and i don't know if it will help too...

Please kindly help.
thank you

:) Hello and welcome!

I know a few people have been getting problems after the update but they all seem to show slightly different symptoms. It looks like your system is searching a long time for files. Can you get to the Control Panel and open the Troubleshooter page? Select View all and run one or two of the built in troubleshooters. I would suggest the "Search and Indexing" and the "Windows Update".

Hi see if this helps you
It is the latest update and fixes a lot of the problems the other updates have been causing
One of them being the last update you are on about
You can only manually download it
It will take some time
Also will need a Restart
Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 KB3140742 - Windows 10 Forums
Make sure you download the right verson

I think this is quite a risky strategy to suggest and I just point out that the update is not yet available through the official Windows Update route.

Can I ask how you know that this "fixes a lot of the problems the other updates have been causing"? There is no evidence for this that I can find.

monyong,
Advise you to follow philc43 suggestion.
If that does not solve, run a system file check to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if anything found.
Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.......
sfc /scannow

> press Enter.
It will take quite sometime.
When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing)
1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successful.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere.
If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved.
If the report is #3, use this method................
In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> press Enter.
Again it will take some time.
When finished, it will give you a report.

thanks philc43, but this didn't work.

You might get an error message " sources file could not be found ".
Don't panic.
There is way to resolve that.

after the restorehealth, it's still troubled...
