    Can Windows update, update the BIOS?

    It seems that there are some Z690 users receiving a new firmware from the Windows update.

    Is this really possible?
    I never seen windows update, updating the bios.

    This just happened to me. I've never seen windows update used to update UEFI bios before. Not really liking how it was a "forced update" though.

    Agreed, happened to me as well. Seems to be a good BIOS though, solid performance, good memory overclock etc.

    Windows has been offering Bios updates for quite a while. Currently, I have a Dell system that will not update using the Dell utility but will with Windows 10 version.

    If you look at the Device Manager, you will see a system firmware device and it is likely Windows can alter that, but I don't know what it can do exactly. As far as I know Windows has never updated my ASUS board, but I do keep it up to date myself.

    Setting the CPU Cache Ratio is not possible

    Bios 1720

    Setting the CPU Cache Ratio is not possible, only default settings.

    Got this today as well. Bit odd that it showed up in windows update. It’s still not available on the ASUS support page.

    How can I stop windows from updating my mobo bios? This new version doesn't seem to like the settings I've been dialing in for the last couple bios versions. It's almost as though it doesn't recognize my cpu adaptive voltage setting making my system run at least 10 degrees hotter. I've tested this as I'm back on bios ver. 1601 and my settings acutally work and my temps are back down to normal.
