And it isn’t bricked as long as you create a system restore point, which is the default in Windows 7 and up. So IF the restore points are not turned off, they system should be recoverable.
Now if hardware patching is being directly applied to the mainboard (CMOS or BIOS upgrade/update), that would be another story, and outside of the Microsoft update realm.
The only patching you’ll get anyway is software , Intel said get stuffed
