problem with MiKTeX after updating

Question

I use Windows 10 Pro and I updated MiKTeX for solving that problem. The problem now is that when I select:

MiKTeX package manager, system says that mpm_mfc_admin.exe can't be found,
MiKTeX settings, system says that mo_admin.exe can't be found,
MiKTeX update, system says that copystart_admin.exe can't be found.

What is going wrong?

In older versions of MiKTeX MiKTeX used several programs for administration (the one you named in your question).

The current version of MiKTeX has only one program for administration of MiKTeX (located in the apps of windows): MiKTeX Console:

After calling it you have to choose to use it in admin or user mode (see red arrows in ithe image). That depends on your installation. If you have an admin installation (I have one) you have to update etc. first as admin, second as user.

The old programs for setting, package manager etc. you can found in the place marked with the big red circle. For example click on "Package" to get the package manager.

Refreshing the file data name and the font maps you can do by tasks (small red circle).
