It was often done that way. Many these days seem to have a program you
run in windows that loads something into UEFI which then on reboot will
do the actual updating.
Actually I think what they do is place the update on the UEFI boot
partition, add an entry to the boot menu as a one time default override,
then reboot and it runs that new boot payload to do the update.
