    Aren’t BIOS updates usually done by putting the update file on a flash drive and installing it from the BIOS? I’ve never heard of updating BIOS from Windows with an executable.

      Yeah, some vendors do this, I think the .exe basically unpacks the .bin file then calls some API or something to push it from Windows while it’s running. Probably done for the sake of more casual users who don’t know/want to mess with the actual BIOS UI.
