I'm in the process of debugging my application, which was working well with opengl on Windows 10. The app is broken because of a seemingly missing opengl function. The problem seems to have started when I installed the latest update for Windows 10. I suspect that opengl32.dll is missing key functions for Windows.
Specifically, I always gained access to wglChoosePixelFormatARB by calling Windows wglGetProcAddress. However, wglGetProcAddress now returns a null pointer for this function.
As a workaround, I tried to gain access to wglChoosePixelFormatARB by using the LoadLibrary of opengl32.dll and GetProcAddress. The return value is still a null, and the GetLastError returns ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND.
To double-check the issue, I downloaded a dll export viewer tool from nirsoft.com. I saw that wglChoosePixelFormatARB is not listed in opengl32.dll, whereas the older function, wglChoosePixelFormat, is there. The wglChoosePixelFormat function is a much older way to choose the format. What is the logic behind distributing this opengl32 dll?
I read the following answer from Microsoft, but it doesn't seem that another update is available or that the answer will fix my problem:
Does anybody have a suggestion?

Turns out that Dell's Intel HD driver update from Nov 2017 is messing up OpenGL. One way to solve the problem is to use Dell's older driver update.
This might be wrong; the older drive might not include the Intel security update. Choose your poison.
The working driver is here:
