It is a new and very very worrying "feature" that now MS seems to be pushing bios updates with windows update. This is an absolute crazy state of events as if something goes wrong then hardware can literally as you found out be bricked
I am hoping they do not start doing it for ATX etc motherboards and just OEM laptops and the like
