Well, backup and a VCS software is your friend at these times. Usual advice:
- pause Windows updates;
- only use NVidia Studio drivers instead of Game Ready drivers;
- unless if absolutely necessary migrate your project to a new release (if it has a show-stop bug in a previous release which prevents you from moving ahead);
- each task, start a new branch on your VCS software, commit each task as it finishes;
- backup after each task complete, just a smart backup software which can do fast incremental backups;
Life saved!
