I suspect the correct action is 'roll back' the update
and actually undo it. Then shut off auto update.

Another option - assuming 'setpoints' have been made
would be to tell the computer to restore to the last
good setpoint.

Next up, reformat the hard drive, re-install windoze
(or whatever operating system one is using) then
re-install all the programs etc. (If possible copy
off all desired files from the computer.)

Which points up the need to periodically back up ALL
important or 'I really want to keep this' files.
Preferably to an external drive.

Interesting thing. The guru where I used to work had
instructed me in how to set up AOMEI backupper so that
it would auto-magically back up the 'C' drive to a
second drive in the chassis. A microsnot update began
K.O.ing our windoze ten machines at work . . . And when
the shop computer got hammered I just booted the beast
off a USB stick, ran AOMEI and re-imaged the C drive.
Right back to where I was before the update.

By the way, AOMEI does seem to have in its utilities menu
the means to create a bootable USB stick which also has
the AOMEI program so that one can restore the image.

If ones computer is big enough having two hard drives inside
it with one of them containing a backup image of the main
drive is a slick way to go. Also a cheap and easy way to
have a second copy of ones most important files readily
available.
