That’s not a thing it can do in grub. It could do it with UEFI entries, but these days windows is not the biggest culprit of that. I had it happen on a BIOS update, where it simply nuked all stored entries, and the windows one is always checked as part of the standard.
Yeah, I was gonna say I dual boot and I can’t recall the last time that Windows nuked my UEFI bootloader.
But back when Windows still did BIOS boot, it was like every major release without fail.
edit: Rewreading your post it sounds like you meant updating the BIOS as a whole and not BIOS boot, so that’s my bad. Yeah, I definitely haven’t seen your circumstance, I had that happen consistently before Microsoft embraced the UEFI style booting
In my experience, Windows would update the boot order and set itself as the default every time you booted into it
