SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26

My Windows 10 pc installed an update overnight. Today I have this message (below) when I launch SQL Server 2014 and try to 'Connect to Server'. Any ideas as to what Microsoft may have done to me please? Thanks in advance!

Cannot establish a connection to the server

I just fixed my computer here and there after I was facing some BSOD's and when I now try to open up SQL Server using Windows Authentication, displays the following message and doesn't login.

I checked in the Configuration Manager, Named Pipes, Shared Memory and TCP/IP all are enabled. What went wrong now? :-|
Did you check SQL Server Configuration Manager->SQL Service(MSSQL). Is it runnig?
You also can check:
SQL Service(MSSQL)->Properties->Service->Host Name is eqals to "Service Name"
which you must enter when you start your MSSQL Manadgment Studio.
If it don`t help you can read this articlea http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_protocols/archive/2007/05/13/sql-network-interfaces-error-26-error-locating-server-instance-specified.aspx
Check if you are typing in the right computer name and instance name. The error basically points to that.
