G'day Alien, Welcome to Linux.org
What was the update you installed ?
Do you have Timeshift installed and working?

Do you know what the backup consisted of?...Did you read the screen ?
It is possible that there was a kernel update, because you rebooted after the update finished.
If this was the case, do you see the grub screen prior to logging in ?.....it will be a list of the available kernels which are stored on your pc.
If you do see that screen, hit the down arrow when it appears....that will stop it proceeding further.
Arrow down to the kernels below the two which were installed via your update....they should have the numbers 5.4.0-105 & 5.13.0-37
Choose the first generic kernel below those...probably 5.4.0-104
Hit enter
The pc will boot to that kernel
Success?

That's usually the Shift key for BIOS but the Esc key for UEFI.

Hi Allen,
Welcome to Linux.org Forum.
What Distro are you using? If it's mint they had a kernel update the other day. And that could have an impact on your video driver. You can go back to the older kernel from the Advanced section of the grub boot menu. See if that solves the problem.
If you don't see the grub menu at boot hold the left shift key down if it's a Bios system or the esc key if it's UEFI.

Op is using feren os.
Yesterday I have read their Twitter post they have updated the KDE plasma.
They have delayed their plasma update since it had some bugs but now they have released it
I think there is something to do with the plasma update if the op is using KDE
