never install optional preview updates for windows.
that's what this one is. if you install what is essentially a beta update, expect the worst. that your computer will not boot back up. that your data went 'poof'. that kind of 'worst'. a lost wallpaper and goofed up cursor is nothing compared to what could happen.
