    I've found that most times it's best to let it proceed but then it may depend upon what the update is for, frequently to correct a security issue. The BIOS/Basic Input Output System is independent from the Operating System itself, loads during the P.O.S.T. [Power On Self Test] to let the OS know what is available as to resources, works with all OSes.

    That popup is generated by a Lenovo uutility and not by Windows.

    To find out how to stop it appearing, search/ask Lenovo support & any user forum that they have.

    Welcome to TenForums.
    It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.
    - At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
    - I download a new copy each month so I can benefit from Excel's filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
    - Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
    - Both tutorial pages are searchable.
    - You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
    taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

    - And note that you can also search TenForums threads [rather than just searching tutorials] in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
    Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
    [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

    First, by updating the BIOS version. Go to system information to see the version of the BIOS you have? Mine is 1.57 in the screenshot.
    Is it lower than 10 (64)? Second, disabling is a little more complicated... Third, if an update is available it is because the machine is recent.

    Last time I let Lenovo update BIOS or drivers it broke my machine. I literally mean Lenovo official, Lenovo Vantage told me to update BIOS or drivers through it, which I did and that broke my machine. I have no interest in updating the BIOS on my machine.

    Instead of using Vantage, use Lenovo System Update. It lets you to hide the updates.

    Anything can happen with a UEFI update. If the update is not "critical", but "recommended", and the computer is out of warranty, consider not updating it.
