Windows Update - All Programs Gone

Windows 10 recently updated on my PC and appeared to be completely successful. However, all of the software that I installed myself (Microsoft Office, photo editing, Google Chrome + all my bookmarks and passwords, etc.) is now all gone. All of my files (documents & pictures) appear to be intact, however. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windows, which did not work. I couldn't do a system restore because I didn't have the box checked for that option (I do now). There are only four programs now showing on the computer in the "Uninstall or change a program" section. Other than reinstalling all of the software, is there any way to fix this problem?

Are those all that are listed? It may be that the old updates were removed after the accidental reinstall.

This probably won't help but Have you tried a System Restore to a time before the Updates were installed?
Looks like he had System Restore turned off before this issue:
