You have IE10 or 11 installed and an HD48xx series graphics card. A prerequisite Update was needed before IE9 could be upgraded - that update has a number of potential side-effects that I've seen reported and have suffered from first hand; it frequently affects PCs with HD4xxx installed and
makes changes to the following:
Direct2D
DirectWrite
Direct3D
Windows Imaging Component (WIC)
Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP)
Windows Animation Manager (WAM)
XPS Document API
H.264 Video Decoder
JPEG XR codec
From the little I know, the above changes appear to affect (some of?) the areas you are having problems with. Your graphics hardware (and presumably drivers) are in the ballpark affected too.
If you'd like to test this out by removing the KB, first uninstall IE11 (and then 10, if you stepped up) then remove the KB.
After the required reboots, hide the KB in Windows Update then use the IE 10 and IE 11 blocking toolkits (

Download Toolkit to Disable Automatic Delivery of Internet Explorer 11 from Official Microsoft Download Center) to prevent it being silently re-installed by Automatic Updates.
