Can Microsoft push hidden updates?

[Badran]

I’m genuinely curious, as yesterday when I restarted my PC, it said that windows was configuring updates, but I hadn’t downloaded any sort of updates from the check for updates menu in the system settings. When I checked the update history, I couldn’t find anything beyond the typical security definition updates that are pushed out frequently, but those have required windows to configure the update if I restarted after downloading the.

Is it possible that Microsoft can push hidden updates that the user cannot see?

Can you check Settings > Update and Security and look at Windows Updates then click on Delivery Optimization directly below (on left side menu).

That’s not enabled, and it never has been on my machine.

Its been a while, but I suspect it was something like an update for a Microsoft app or something.
