    Hello @rohit patil ,

    Thank you for your question.

    Sometimes an update can cause a problem, damaging some applications, although this is not something that often happens.

    I recommend that you follow the instruction below and check if the problem persists or not:

    Instructions: go to settings> update and security> click View update history> at the top of the screen click Uninstall updates> when opening the new screen look for the newly installed update and then right click on it and select Uninstall, wait for the process is complete and then restart your computer to complete the uninstallation completely.

    You can also upgrade to version 21H1, which is the latest version of windows 10, I believe this would save potential problems.

    To do this you can follow the instruction below:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    Step 1: Access the above link and select the Update Now option, an application will be downloaded in which you must install on your computer.

    Step 2: when installing you must open the application and the download, verification and installation of the recent version will start.

    Step 3: After you will be asked to restart the device to complete the update, after a few minutes you will have the latest version.
