How did this happen?
Woke up my computer and saw Windows Update was installing. Question is I was not on the internet. No Wi-fi connection. I keep my PC computer off the internet unless I am doing research.

Thanks. Makes me wonder what else Windows downloads without my knowledge. I even have all Update settings for Windows on "no". Not allowed.
Windows 10 is set to download crucial Windows Updates when the computer is idle, so as to not use the computers resources while your are working. You can change the Active Hours the computer is available. You can also choose which updates to install
Microsoft automatically updates other things too.
If you have Office 365, Microsoft Click-to-Run automatically downloads and installs updates to it as well. For example, I just opened Control Panel\Programs and Features and found that Office 365 was automatically updated on November 1 without my knowledge.
Microsoft Edge was automatically updated on October 31.
And Microsoft OneDrive was automatically updated on October 27.
Yes, All Microsoft apps will upgrade automatically on their own or with a group of other Updates in Windows Update unless you change how updates are downloaded.
