No, all settings are just reverted to factory default. BIOS updates/downgrades you do manually.

Clearing the CMOS on your motherboard will reset your BIOS settings to their factory defaults, so the settings that the motherboard manufacturer decided were the ones that most people would use.

You will lose any custom BIOS configurations, but those can typically be easily reset.

Depending on your setup, you can often backup your working UEFI settings and restore later.

No, it will stay in the current version that it is on. It just reset the settings to default.
