That screenshot is just for example, taken from here:
How to use Windows Update in OS system and how to update BIOS through Windows update? | Official Support | ASUS Global
my asus ROG that had experienced getting a BIOS update through windows update last year is intel based system (core i7-8750H).

Sorry if it gets out of topic, the point is i just want to share that bios updates via windows update can sometimes make the drive unreadable in a particular OS, I experienced it myself.
Thank you.
Hello everyone,
I clean installed windows 10 2004 using Media Creation Tool last night. After the clean install, I checked for updates (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update) till it shows "You're up to date".
Today morning I recived a Quality Update(KB4556803). From what I found online for the update, it is for Windows Insiders in the Slow and Release Preview rings(Releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19041.264 to the Slow & Release Preview rings | Windows Experience Blog).
Since the clean install was using Media Creation Tool, the OS should be public release 2004. Why I got an Cumulative Update for Windows Insiders, when I never joined the Windows Insider Program? Does anyone else get this KB4556803 update too?

With 2004, the normal regedits to disable web
search from the search bar no longer work.
This guide shows how to disable websearch using some firewall rules

Run following powershell
script as administrator.
Enable Web SearchCode:# Check PowerShell is running as Administrator $Principal = ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()) If (-Not ($Principal.IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator))) { Write-Warning "You do not have Administrator rights to run this script. Please run PowerShell as an Administrator." Break } # Inbound Rule $SearchIn = @{ "DisplayName" = "Windows Search (MyRule-In)" "Package" = "S-1-15-2-536077884-713174666-1066051701-3219990555-339840825-1966734348-1611281757" "Enabled" = "True" "Action" = "Block" "Direction" = "Inbound" } If (-Not (Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName $SearchIn.DisplayName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) ) { New-NetFirewallRule @SearchIn} Else { Set-NetFirewallRule @SearchIn} # Outbound Rule $SearchOut = @{ "DisplayName" = "Windows Search (MyRule-Out)" "Package" = "S-1-15-2-536077884-713174666-1066051701-3219990555-339840825-1966734348-1611281757" "Enabled" = "True" "Action" = "Block" "Direction" = "Outbound" } If (-Not (Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName $SearchOut.DisplayName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) ) { New-NetFirewallRule @Searchout} Else { Set-NetFirewallRule @SearchoutchOut }

Similarly for Searchout

Yea. Unlike other "normal" Cumulative Updates, this one didn't ask for a reboot.

Thanks for the reply.
That's kinda wired since the CU for Windows Insider got pushed to a public release version 2004. And after install the CU, it didn't require a reboot.
Have you both either installed or uninstalled Internet Explorer, Sandbox, or Application Guard after updating?
When you make install changes to those, Windows will either redownload and install, or just reinstall if you have not yet cleaned up Windows Update the latest Cumulative Update.
It has always done that, because it needs to adjust changes for security updates.
Not sure what is happening. I did the upgrade on one machine via the MCT iso and that went on the internet to get updates so maybe it was applying this CU. I checked for updates after and didn't get any. My other machine was updated via WU and the only updates I've had since are .NET and Flash.
