    That seems extremely unlikely. That is controlled by the BIOS itself. Windows Update does deliver BIOS updates, but only as provided by the OEM.

      BIOS exists no more. It’s all UEFI which is controllable from the outside.

        Technically yes, but most people still say “BIOS” to refer to any system on a PC that fills the same role.

        Some true BIOSes are also externally controllable, too, it’s not exclusive to UEFI.

      Microsoft has incredibly been doing stuff I’d consider unlikely just a decade ago. They’re at the point where I go “unlikely but far from impossible. Likely in a while”.
