problem with MiKTeX after updating
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 thatmpm_mfc_admin.execan't be found,
MiKTeX settings, system says thatmo_admin.execan't be found,
MiKTeX update, system says thatcopystart_admin.execan't be found.
What is going wrong?
Thank's in advanced!

Miktex has changed a lot, there is now only one interface: the miktex console. I don't use miktex, so I'm not sure if the miktex update process would also have removed the menu entries from win10. Just to be on the safe side: do not d you update both as user and admin?

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).
