We would recommend using Windows Server operating systems:

1. What OS and specific version does SC recommend as most stable and reliable for a professional production trading machine?

On our systems we mostly use Windows Server 2016. You can get a license for this on eBay for about $35 or so.

You will not get any forced updates with Windows Server 2016 if you configure it to just prompt for updates. It is not going to do any updates automatically.

You should not have lost anything with Sierra Chart. All of the data and configuration files will be contained in your Sierra Chart installation folder. Does not make sense, that a Windows update would have caused an issue with the storage drive.
