Try using Startup Repair and System Restore to restore your computer to the point before the update was installed.

Take a look at:
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7? - Microsoft.com
In particular, follow the instructions under "To open the System Recovery Options menu on your computer".

When you have the System Recovery Options menu in front of you, click on System Restore and follow the instructions on-screen.

The following links have a bit more information on System Restore.
