Update, I contacted a Tech Support team that I pay a monthly fee to and explained my situation, they took over my pc and tried to undo the Windows update that caused the issue this took over 5 hours but didn't work. Got back to Tech Support and a different guy took over my pc he was looking at different things then suddenly hit the Restore button without asking if I had done any data back up which I hadn't and now the pc has gone back to the store for repair. Thanks for your reply.

Which "restore" button was clicked?
One type of "restore" uninstalls the most-recent Windows Updates, but does not affect your personal files.
Another type of "restore" completely reloads Windows, while still preserving your personal files.
Another type of "restore" returns the disk-drive to its "factory-shipped" status, wiping everything off your disk-drive, including the deletion of your personal files.
