Windows 10: My Laptop keeps resetting after updates and sometimes even when it shuts down.

I got my laptop last year, but ever since I first had it, every time it shut down due to an update or crash, when ever I'd turn it back on everything seems to have been set back to their default settings.


My desktop image and colors are gone, and I have to manually set them back up every time. I have to re-login to all my accounts- including Google, Steam, Discord, Amazon, etc.


All the Google Chrome tabs that I leave open for School purposes are gone and I have to manually relaunch them. For a while I was willing to put up with this, but recently when I played Minecraft for a bit, and after my laptop updated, I lost that Minecraft world that I spent many hours working in.


If there's anyway for me to prevent this from happening I'd love to know! This occurrence has made me afraid of updating this laptop for a while now, and I'm always pushing back on new updates even if I know I need them.


I want to be able to be okay with my laptop updating/shutting down as long as I don't lose all my progress with whatever I have open!


Hopefully there's a simple solution to all this! Thank you for your time.

Bios keeps resetting...not the battery

I'm having problems with a abit AW9D Max board in an older build of mine that keeps resetting the bios everytime I shut it down. The time is ok so I assume it's not the battery but the other settings such as Uguru setting, ram and other stuff resets to defaults*Wtf :wtf: I've had this computer for a few years with nothing like this happening till now. I'd just leave everything at default but the Uguru alarm goes off whenever I start it and I have to disable it in the bios. Any suggestions on what I can try?
