Windows 10: Win 10 update strategy advice

Hello All, This is my first post as I am relatively new to Win 10 (don't ask). This is me: EditionWindows 10 Pro Version20H2 Installed on‎13/‎12/‎2020 OS build19042.1052 Lats night my machine updated with KB 5004945 and promptly terminated my internet access. I had to do a system restore to recover ! I would prefer not to be a part of the Microsoft bug testing team, so I would seek any advice on how to minimise this sort of catastrophic occurrence. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.

:)

 

Back up strategy

Hi

I have years of work accumulated on my Windows 7 computer in forest measurement spreadsheets. I back up every night to my cellphone, a zip drive, and a Western Digital external drive that's at least 15 years old.

I fear that when I have to make the move to Win 10 it won't recognize the external drive or the others.

Should I have a new backup strategy? An updated external drive or other device? The "cloud"?

Thanks for your advice.

win 10 update leaves vertical pink line on screen

today i applied latest win 10 update and now i have a vertical pink line on screen, it remains on every screen. i have tried these fixes

Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan,
System File Checkeris a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
• After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

Step 2: Also, I suggest you to update the display drivers and check.

Steps to Update the Display Adapter driver.

• Press Windows key + Xkey when you are at desktop.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapter.
• Right on the Display Adapter and click on
  Update driver software

BUT i still have the line on screen.
