Windows 10: VivoBook X543UA Windows 10 Bios firmware updated automatically

During a restart a couple of days ago, I saw that my bios was being updated without any action / knowledge on my part. Since I frequently access the bios, I checked, and sure enough the version is now 305, the odd thing is, that on the support page, for this machine, the latest version is 304, of course it has an earlier date than the one installed by Windows.
Upon further review, in, settings -> update and security -> view update history, i found the following entry with install date of 10/20/2019:

Asustek Computer Inc. Firmware -6/21/2019 12:00 AM - 10.1.2.305

So Windows is now in the business of automatically installing bios updates? I am not sure that I like this. Has anyone experienced something similar, and is there anyway to stop this?

Firmware update or hyper-v causes automatic repair loop everytime

Microsoft does not upgrade BIOS firmware you have to install the BIOS firmware from your computer manufacturer website.

Use the following steps to enable Hyper-V on Windows 10:

• Open Control Panel.
• Click on Programs.
• Click on Turn Windows features on or off.
• Check the Hyper-V option making sure: Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform are also selected.
• Click OK to begin the process.

Actually some machines can receive Firmware updates through Windows Updates. As for the reboots, I would also look at Secure Boot getting fouled up and clearing that option to reset it. The Hash may not match when it reboot causing these errors.
