Default MS unwanted updates tonight...

It might be tricky to be sure. You don't control
the system on Win10 the way you could with
earlier versions. And even earlier versions were
not trustworthy.

Case in point: Several years ago there was big
excitement when a lot of IT people, who had
specifically disabled Windows Update service,
found it installing updates. (And this pre-dated
Win10. It was probably on XP or Vista. I don't
remember.) Microsoft responded that Windows
Update *itself* was being updated, against the
wishes and without the knowledge of IT people.

MS essentially said, "Don't worry. We know you
disabled Windows Update. We're just bypassing that
to take care of a few things we think are important."
So Windows Update was bypassing Windows Update.
