I had a similar problem after updating WordPress, try adding this in functions.php :
function load_jquery()
{
wp_register_script('mainJquery', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/js/jQuery.js', array('jquery'), 1, true);
wp_enqueue_script('mainJquery');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_jquery');
I was only missing array(‘jquery’), maybe it’s the same for you…
