You need to enable it to use full speed of memory and not handicap CPU's performance.
Bettet just make sure that there's specified voltage set for memory.
If BIOS tries to force XMP speed, but doesn't take correct voltage spec there might be problems in getting PC to boot.

I personally would never update the bios from within Windows, always do it through the bios directly

No worries

It's a much safer way to flash a BIOS, through Windows can bork your board so best avoided if possible.
