Microsoft update has screwed everything up?
All my files are gone save for what is on my one drive and if I restart my computer it just deletes it all over again and the favorites on my internet browser as well.

First, make sure you are on the right profile. sometimes, Windows cannot get you in to theprofile you want, so it creates a new one for you. It APPEARS as if things have been erased, but in fact the new profile doesn't show you the files in the other profile.
c:\users will show you all the profiles. You may see two similarly named, such as
JohnDoe and JohnDoe.1 The second one is the new profile. You can enter the other profile and copy over all the files from it to the new profile (of from the administrator account) and once done, delete the old profile completely. (Don't delete the old profile until you are sure you don't need it.)
