Can you provide more info? We'll investigate. Some of the power users here whom I approached could not even see the update until today. What I was informed is consistent with the result - the update was optional. The screenshot was taken by a forum member.

Windows bios update download, automatic or optional probably depends on which version of Windows is installed and the region in which one lives.
In my opinion if the 1720 bios will be removed from Windows Update for all countries and Asus's support page the issue is solved.
You need to investigate with attention 🙂

Now look BOYS, I don't care how many posts you have but calling a user on this board a liar when he or she says the bios was forced on their systems is a very slippery road to take.

I think on Windows systems driver updates are AUTOMATICALLY installed by DEFAULT, and this might include this dreaded BIOS/ASUS firmware update.
Automatic Driver Updates can be disabled, although how to do so is not obvious in any way: To stop Windows 10 from doing automatic driver updates, navigate to Control Panel > System & Security > System > Advanced System Settings > Hardware > Device Installation Settings. Then choose "No (your device might not work as expected)."
Under Windows 11 it's Windows Settings -> System -> About -> Advanced System Settings -> Hardware -> Device Installation Settings -> No (your device might not work as expected)
I think (but I might be wrong) that users receiving this as an optional update MIGHT have disabled the automatic driver updates on their systems. Either this OR Microsoft has since then moved the Asus Firmware update to Optional Updates - not clear since Microsoft itself has made a mess of this by not calling things by their true name (e.g. since when 'apps and custom icons' = "driver updates"?!).

It's not this, either. I've not disabled this since installing W11.
It is, for lack of any other validation, an optional update. This is why MasterC has asked for screenshots.

Do employees or those who work for Asus own the same retail motherboards as users?

Asus employees are usually given a version of a motherboard produced before mass production to end users, such as the 12900k ES that is a little bit different.
