    System restore to a date prior to the trouble.

    I wouldn't recommend using Internet Explorer at all, just download Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox - best solution to your problem, it will work faster and it is much safer to use.

    To restore you need to create a restore point, which nobody does.

    Sometimes it gets created automatically when something happen.

    So its worth checking. Unless you turn it off like I do.

    Which is why Windows does it all by itself.

    ...after you manually configure it to do so.

    Can you trigger the update again?

    System Restore is enabled by default in Windows 7.
