I updated my Laptop to the latest version of the update. However, after I updated it slowed my laptop and I am not able to listen to songs on groove too. Please help. HEY, Cortana not responding again…

I just received the cumulative update KB4016240 which seems to work well so far. However, most window images shown in the task switcher (Alt+Tab) are no longer anti-aliased but pixelated. Images of Windows apps, like the calculator or the settings window seem to be an exception. They are still look smooth.
- KB4016240 deletes your emails
It appears that KB4016240 can occasionally deleteemails. For the time being, this problem affects only Outlook users.
I just updated ‘Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4016240)’ and the update removed all pre-update emails for today only. The emails for all prior days were not affected and continue to exist in Outlook 2016.
Example: All emails dated 04/25/2017 from 12:01 AM through 08:11 PM were removed from Outlook 2016.
I ran SCANPST.exe and it did not resolve the issue. […] I do not want to create another Outlook account as I only have one or two days of emails online. I want to keep my current account which has over 100k emails on my PC.
Users beware of this update. MS has had far too many issues with Outlook and their forced auto updates
