Worst one I've had is a windows update somehow physically brick a notebook, no idea how it happened but even after replacing the harddrive it would still get stuck in a weird boot loop trying to start off a non existant drive. My best guess is the update somehow managed to damage/corrupt the BIOS.

Modern Windows update also include BIOS updates by your manufacturer.

Doesn't the manufacturer always say to not update the BIOS unless absolutely necessary?

Yes, but Microsoft will just give you the latest one via Windows Update regardless of suggestions
