Hi,
When I tried to do an update, I could no longer start the console
because of a missing Qt platform plugin. I tried to uninstall MikTeX and
then re-install it, but the uninstall also requires the plugin.
Quite a while ago I had an issue at least sounding similar. I don't remember the details, but I think I was able to fix it on the command line. Then there are two commands:
miktex packages update-package-database
miktex packages update
Afterwards you can refresh the filename database:
miktex fndb refresh
The above commands are meant for a user installation of MiKTeX. If you have a system wide installation you should use
miktex --admin ...
Remark: older releases of MiKTeX don't know the command 'miktex'. There was something similar called 'mpm', but I don't know the detailed commands.
