Does Win10 secretly install updates during "Reset PC' ?

I just 'Reset' my tablet/laptop which has Win10 on it. It's an Asus T100-chi with 64gb main drive and 2gb of RAM. It's been at it for half an hour now and only proceeds to about 55%

I opted to just reset and just remove my files. No HDD wiping. Surely this shouldn't take this long?

So I was thinking. Win10 is insanely aggressive with updates (which I don't like). Is Win10 now secretly downloading updates so my 'Reset PC' will have the latest updates "fresh out the box". Could this be a possibility?

I don't get what you're saying. I closed my wi-fi. And you're saying Win10 will still download updates during a PC-Reset ?

Second question, it finished resetting and was busy setting it up again for a few minutes. Restarted. And BOOM. It somehow got 3 updates from somewhere and installed them. Persistantly.
Where did it get these updates from I thought I had a fresh install?.
Did it store it somewhere from my previous use of this laptop. Where did it hid it? Because I did not setup wifi yet with this fresh startup !!

Third question; so, this doesn't bother you at all..?

Third: it doesn't bother me. I think the last 3 versions of Windows do better than the earlier versions in trying to keep the OS up to date. If I didn't like the way it's done I'd go fully to Linux, most of the more than 250 versions don't automatically do updates, have to go to Update Manager and do it manually. I do have Linux Mint on a Desktop and a Notebook but also have WinXP, Vista and Win7 on computers, just have to boot them up now and then to do the updates. The WinXP is not intended to be on the Internet, has 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives and a 250MB Zip drive useful for data recovery from clients' old computers.

These are all defaults:

I guess the new updates will be stored on the recovery partition?
And no way to get rid if it ?
