Windows update broke my computer and nothing seems to fix it

So every time windows updates my computer it seems to break my graphics driver so I would select clean installation while install the driver and that always seems to fix it but this time it is a lot worse every time I open file explorer the computer crashes and says memory management so i did some Google searches and that made it seem like I needed to update my graphics driver or reinstall in my case as their is some random vga drive the went their on its own but when I would install the driver I get the same crash the I didn't install using geforece experience then I get a different crash a driver power state Failer and I tried a few other things I can't remember and got nvlddmkm.sys And page fult in none page area I'm just so confused

The GPU does not show up in device manager when I start the computer I close all background programs that are unnecessary to fix the issue 

 

To make matters worse I have a eagle scout documents with signatures that needs to be worked on and I can't take it off the computer because it crashes when I open file explorer and I age out of scouts in November I really hope I don't have to redo this stuff on my phone I have backups but they are a few months old

 

Anyone who could help would be greatly appreciated

Use a different PC to get your data off the drives before clean installing.

Or buy a new drive to install windows on and then take your data off of the old drives.

I installed the Nvidia drivers in safe mode but when ever the computer starts it crashes immediately and gives me the nvlddmkm.sys crash and is stuck in a loop doing that but it eventually stopped and brought me to the choose and option ; continue use a device trouble shoot ect

Try uninstalling the Nvidia drivers in safe mode, restart to force Windows to boot normally using the Basic Graphics Adapter, then install the Nvidia drivers again.

This has literally never happened before :P

Just kidding, this happens to everyone... like 3 times a year :P
 

Did you try a simple system restore?

If system restore is failing, try holding shift while restarting to get to the startup options screen.

There's a system restore option in there than you can run outside of windows.

The only catch is that it doesn't let you revert the system restore like you can if you do it in windows.
