try a system restore. If that doesnt work then try safemode and uninstall the updates you just did.

Keep in mind sometimes updates just take a while to run their course. What you might percieve as a crashed explorer.exe could just be the updates still running. If that happens I usually let it sit for a few minutes before I do anything.
