Kubuntu told me there were updates available and showed me a list. Each item had a box next to it with a check mark. I unchecked the 2 Nvidia items because I didn't want to update that. Then I clicked the update selected button. The screen then displayed "installing" next to each item in the list, including the Nvidia. When I rebooted, the graphics was all messed up, everything was big and fuzzy and low res. I restored the system with Timeshift and everything was back to normal. Can anyone explain what happened? I think I had the proprietary driver and the "update" looked like open. I would like to be able to update the other things that need updating without messing up the graphics.

ah, they were likely related changes so they kind of an all or nothing deal
when you reboot can you see the grub screen?
go into Advanced and try the different options (need to reboot each time)
you should be able get back to the state prior to the update and then just update everything or nothing at all
welcome to having a nvidia GPU under linux.
