Windows 10: Latest Windows 10 update negatively affected my BIOS on Lenovo desktop

Windows automatically installed updates yesterday on my Lenovo M93p desktop.


After the forced restart, I no longer have access to my BIOS or my boot options menu. Windows does not recognize my Dell monitor and resolution is fixed at 640x480. I can't boot from my USB DVD drive nor from a USB key.


I can't install Lenovo's latest BIOS update through Windows and since I can't use a bootable USB device, I can't install the BIOS update that way either.


I did succeed in uninstalling some of the updates that were installed yesterday but it did not fix any of the problems. I could not uninstall KB4528760 I get an error message when attempting to uninstall and KB4538674 does not offer an uninstall link.


I had/have a dual boot computer. The default boot was Fedora 31. I no longer get a boot options menu. I did gain access to Windows by changing the default boot to Windows 10 in Fedora with the hope I could uninstall the Windows updates. As I said, that did not work and now I can't reach Linux because I can't edit grub from Windows. Not that it matters since the same problems manifested themselves in Fedora.


At this point my computer is completely unusable due to the 640x480 screen resolution. I can't fix the BIOS with an update and I can't reinstall the OS but that wouldn't fix the BIOS anyway.


Is there any way to fix this?

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
