That depends on how you update / upgrade your WP.
If you do it manually by FTP :
Overwrite all files except :
If you do it automatically with the wp interface :
Same as above , and nothing should be affected . but make sure you
update ONLY the wp core files, and not the plugins that you do not
want to update ( the interface will give you ALL updates )
In both ways your plugin files / settings will should not be affected unless they become non-compatible for some reason with the new wp version ( you did not specify )
