Bios and firmware updates through the Windows Update channel is not new. This has been the norm on Dell and HP computers (just to mention a few) for a while.
But latest forced Windows Update on Asus mainboards (including High end gaming boards) is a first.
This latest move by Asus and MS has end users up in arms (myself included).
Most builders of high end boards want to manage driver, firmware and bios updates themselves. A lot of gamers and high end users tweak their systems for their own pleasure and personal use.
So you can understand why a lot of Asus users started crying foul when they noticed that their BIOS had just been updated by Windows Update. On top of that a lot of users are seeing voltage spikes on their rigs since this update.

For those who have this issue and wish to temporarily disable bios update, you can go to your device manager and disable firmware. This is a temporary fix not a solution.
Some users have suggested to disable PTT and trusted computer security in BIOS. Disabling trusted computer security setting in the bios will disable security ID and render your PIN login options unusable for those using this option in Windows.
This is only a temporary workaround not a solution.
