How do I unhold them? I don't recall holding any upgrades.
You never placed a hold on any? Using Synaptic Package manager. maybe?
Or apt-mark hold command in terminal? These normally cannot add themselves...
It's all Nvidia Stuff. have you had troubles with Nvidia?

Try:
sudo apt-mark unhold nvidia *

You might want to retreat to a safe fifty meter radius. Wrong terminal command - your computer will self-destruct in 45 seconds.
This should work:
sudo apt-mark unhold $(apt-mark showhold)
