I'd recommend removing bits of the
      .config/$dir or .cinnamon directories for it, and logging out/back
      in, just rebuild your settings.  


      Moving around different KDE versions, I'd find it'd freak out due
      to some change in handling of the config files that wasn't
      perfectly migrated to.  Usually removing .kde or .config/kde*
      directories works, I'd recommend the same for cinnamon/mate, and
      eventually the gtk folders as well if still not behaving, as they
      tend to bleed over to everything.  


      Using mate for a bit was a bugger between upgrades, I had to clear
      its conf directories a few times for it as well.

I did a system
        update today and now I have a couple of serious problems.

I use Thunderbird
        mail and today I have reminders that won’t go away. I tried
        dismiss and snooze and dismiss all, tried the X in the upper
        corner and close in the panel bar at the bottom of the screen.
        It closes and comes right back.

I also use
        Audicity and it’s giving me a debug report when I open the
        program. That is also new today after the update. When I click
        on the OK button, it clears the debug report and closes the
        program.

These are the
        only two programs I’ve used so far today, so I don’t know what
        else lurks in my system.

What I would like
        to do is undo the upgrade and redo the upgrades one item at a
        time.

I’ve looked
        online but can’t locate how to undo updates.

I am using Mint
        18. My Update Manager is set to “Optimize stability and
        Security”. I am allowing level 1,2 and 3 updates only. My update
        preferences are set to default settings.

51 updates were
        installed today. My last update was 08/02.

Can anyone tell
        me how to undo todays update.

Any help will be
        greatly appreciated.
