... or did you mean firmware updates?
Those tend to be software-based too, the key point being that you still have to download it (it doesn't happen through osmosis), and something has to be checking for them.
Generally firmware updates get downloaded from the manufacturer's website manually, yes? Why would they be manifesting as an update notification?

For the Surface Pro series, Microsoft calls them hardware updates. This is not the same as a firmware update for your laptop or desktop. Microsoft delivers firmware updates via Windows Update. And you will be notified you have a hardware update even if you have other updates turned off.
