Windows 10: Network Sharing Stops working with updates and power outages

Since adding a computer with windows 10 pre-installled and 2019 updates I have having a repeated issue network sharing stopped working with either a power outage/router down or windows updates and which nothing else seems to work except doing these two actions. 1) search computer for turn windows feature on off - then find SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support - expand and make sure all options are checked then 2) search computer for "services app" - make sure both "Function Discovery" listings show as startup type "automatic" - if not double click on the line and change the startup type to "automatic" ONLY after doing those two things does the file sharing work again.

Why do those keep getting reset causing my file sharing to stop with updates or the modem/router shutting down due to power outages etc.

I absolutely need file sharing and windows 10 has cost me a lot of money in geek fees to figure this out - even they say it's become a game with Windows 10 to figure out how they sabotaged file sharing yet again.

(Note this is 3 different computers - sometimes it's my computer with windows 10 pre-installed, other times it's my computers upgraded to windows 10 - so it's not unique to a single computer and the geeks say they constantly have calls about this issue especially for home businesses like mine)

How do I stop a windows update, if there is a power outage and I'm on an uninterruptible power supply?

I've read too much about people having problems with their PCs after it shut down unexpectedly during a power outage. So I decided to buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

From the product reviews of the UPS model I bought, most people were saying that they had enough time to save their work and shut down. However, I imagine that if a power outage were to happen during a windows update, is there any way to stop the windows
update so I can shut down the computer?

The UPS I bought is a CyberPower Ecologic Series EC750G, with 450 W. My desktop PC's power supply unit is also rated at 450 W.
