...Hope that helps!
Unfortunately, one of the well-known grievances about W10 is that all updates are forced upon us, whether we like it or not (just for the great unwashed; corporate buyers can choose delayed plans). If you are on the Insider Hub, you probably don't even know for sure which update broke the Kobo link. The Insider build previous to the Anni Update is not the one that will fix it... it happened at least six or seven builds prior to that.

Regular users can postpone W10 updates only for a very short timeframe. And prior to the Anni Update on August 2, you could go back to the previous build for 30 days... now MS in their wisdom is only giving a 10-day grace period.

Another thing to remember: these "restore" points also effectively wipe out any other standard system restore points you might have.
