Nor do the files deployed in the update impact any system files related to the Recycle Bin or Disk Cleanup options.
There may be another possibility but the op did not provide any info, just in case..
A recycle bin damaged by a shutdown, disk cleanup, power surge etc can also occur if the Norton Protected Recycle Bin or similar software is employed. If the NPRB is present, purge all protected files, use the NPRB properties to rename as Recycle Bin, set double click to open Standard Recycle Bin, then disable NPRB on all drives. Restart then perform Disk Cleanup.
