Mandatory updates when opening Turbo Tax

Two Questions:

1)  I went into my completed/submitted 2021 taxes to play around with some "What if" scenarios such as how would my return change if a certain category was increased or decreased. When I try open my tax file, it will not open unless I update the file first. I don't want anything to change so I don't want to update the file. I even disconnected the internet but the file still would not open. How do I open the file without updating it?

2) What happens if you update your software AFTER I've submitted my taxes to the IRS and the change affects what I have submitted?  If the file is updated when I open it, it may appear that the error was mine and not yours. Does the question make sense? How do I prove that when I used your tax software, the calculations were correct as of the date printed (including all updates up to that point in time)?  I can't be the only one with this concern.
