What do you mean by only updates from Windows? If you are referring to those downloaded and installed through the Auto Update, that is not all you need. The Auto update only installs those updates that Microsoft deems as "critical" which is why I said from the Custom Updates at Microsofts Update site.
What CDG files are you talking about? Are they songs previously imported with Microstudio earlier versions? If so these should have been renamed to .BIN when you upgraded. There was a message to do so when you first opened Microstudio. A CDG file from the older versions and BIN file are exactly the same. There is no difference except for the filename extension.
This sounds like either your drive isn't supported or your drive has failed. What is the brand and model of your drive? Did you test the drive under Tools/Default Drive?

If you don't have version 1.09 firmware on the drive then you need to install it. You can find out what version it is from the Microstudio Tools/Default Drive information. The firmware version is the last part of the description.
You can find the firmware here:

Also you did not answer about the Windows updates.
