Product: HP ENVY X360
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Envy X360 laptop. Model 15m-ed0023dx.

 The last 2 times I did a windows 10 home update it updated the BIOS. I don’t want it to do that because if something goes wrong I have a non working computer. Had a problem with my old HP 8560p laptop where the cap & num lock would blink when turned on and took a while before I could get it to boot. Was told by HP support I need to update the BIOS to fix. Took about a month before the BIOS update would complete and fix the problem because during the BIOS update the computer would reboot then got blinking cap & num lock and had to hold power button to turn off.

 How can I disable the BIOS from updating when doing a windows update?

Is it the HP support assistant that is causing the windows update to do a BIOS update? Windows 10 update never updated the BIOS before. Thank you.
