Does updating to a newer version of Windows remove files and programs

I currently have windows 10 version 1803 and I'd like to update to the latest version (I think it's 20H1 or 20H2) using the Windows update assistant. So my question is: is it safe to update without loosing my files and will I keep all my programs installed ?
