Hello graham,

within windows as it says that c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe cannot
be found. on examination i do no longer have such a directory. more
and more basic features can no longer be controlled or accessed

Sound like a virus and/or rootkit infected system.

Time for a full reinstall I'm afraid...

Jesse, thanks.... i think, i was rather holding out for a work around or a
fix before i had to go that far.

i have never had my AV or internet security lapse or flag any issues, and it
did start following april release of win/updates

You no longer have a System32 directory?
As nobody else that I've seen reported symptoms even remotely similar to
yours after the April updates, I think you're beating a dead horse there.
Jesse is correct with the bad news. Format the partition and reinstall.
You didn't tell us which A/V and anti-malware products you use, but you
might want to think about a switch.
