No problems here. You can always go to Programs & Features and uninstall the
updates and then reinstall them one at a time to see if you can reproduce
the issue.
Otherwise, here are a few notes about this sort of problem:
If you can't change Desktop background - Start>Control Panel>Ease of
Access>Ease of Access Center. Under "Make things on the screen easier to
see", deselect the option "Remove background images (where available).
Select "Save".
If that doesn't help, download wallpaper_enable.reg from the following link
-

Save the file to Desktop. Right-click on the file and then choose "Merge"
