Bug Description

These updates are presented to me daily and I have tried to install them several times and had to rollback. I have tried installing just the NVidia drivers and this seems to result in my Wifi and Bluetooth adapters not being recognised. I have also tried to install just the kernel 5.8.0 updates without the NVidia drivers and this results in the dual HP monitors not being recognised but the laptop inbuilt screen works (it does recognise the HP G2 Thunderbolt dock as the external keyboard through it works). Installing all the updates results in the loss of the external monitors, wifi and bluetooth.
