Seems Feb updates have been cancelled completely. Reports its a more serious issue than first thought

I had something odd happen a few days ago - saw the 'there are new updates' pop up on the taskbar, and clicked the X to make it disappear ...next thing I know, it's downloading updates! I stopped it and thought no more until shut-down that night, and it installed the ones it had managed to download.

I'm reluctant to even look at the updates in case it auto downloads more of them!
From what I can see on the drive, it was mostly .NET updates.

I remember some people getting W10 downloading when they clicked X on the window to close it!

The microsoft updates will only ever update by referencing the operating system and what the user has installed with regards that operating system only

It will never give you a update for software that you have not even installed. .net is classed as being part of the operating system so therefore you would have had .net installed but was missing a previous security patch hence it would have downloaded that missing patch

True, .NET was already on the computer - a technician installed all the updates some time ago when fixing something via TeamViewer.
I'd stopped doing updates mostly because of a few screw-ups from previous ones - one of which had been a .NET.

I was therefore surprised to see these recent ones downloaded and installing when I hadn't selected them to be done. Still, nothing seems to have been upset by it
I'm no fan of things being installed unbidden.
