Windows 10: No option to confirm it was me in the list of 'unusual acitivities'

OK, so I was using a VPN to surf the web and I checked my mail. Because of the VPN, I got a mail from the account team that there was unusual activity on my account, that it logged in from a different IP address. I went through the steps to send confirmation code and all that. When I got to the list of unusual activities, and expanded the session where I used my VPN, there was no option to click to confirm that it was me. But in the help page, it says I have to click on a button that says it was me. But I can't find that button anywhere when I look at the session

unusually large list of firmware updates

See Dell Inspiron 17 specs if more info is needed to reply.
OS version: 10.0.19041, Build: 19041

My latest Window updates included an unusually large list of optional updates for firmware this weekend. I have always been of the opinion that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" when it comes to firmware and BIOS up dates.

This poses two questions:
1) Is my opinion about firmware and Bios updates flawed?
2) Why should I suddenly see such a large list if optional firmware updates available?

See attached screenshots of optional updates below.







Thanks in advance for your replies.

 

Programs Missing From Control Panel List

I was able to get rid of XNVIEW by downloading it and using it's own uninstaller.
Have tried method suggested by Pyramid 10 with photoscape without success.
Can't figure out how to do what is asked.

Your next suggestion?

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
