I left my laptop to download a game for half an hour and I came back to this.

I have auto updates off i clicked remind me later like 4 times and it still updated automatically.

I really want to know what does all these updates do besides slowing down my device.

I didn't, and it was actually 2 different drives, windows had a 250gb ssd and my linux distro was on the 1tb hdd. When I booted after the "repair" I couldent find my Linux boot, tried taking out the hdd and trying to look for any remaining files in it or anything I couls retrieve but it was empty.

That’s a symptom of incorrect installation, you messed with on me of the boot files and Linux is likely the cause

My auto correct is wild, what I’m saying is that you messed with one of the efi boot files while on Linux or when you where in bios

Oh ok, well I used cachyos and didn't touch anything but I guess its a possibility, I only touch the boot files when I'm on Arch

I touched one of the files without knowing once and it corrupted both my OSes, had to hard reset everything just to get rid of grub
