SP1 installed without permission
So I woke up this morning and walked into my home office only to see a message on the windows wallpaper which was not there before saying- windows SP1 successfully installed and all my settings were reset and the restore history service wiped out all my points I made over the past 3 months. The weird part is I have restricted WINUPD to only download and not install, it seems in this case it ignored that permission. I should not I left my PC running the whole night until I walked in to the office in the morning where I saw this issue.
I went into the installation history for the windows update and I saw no trace of an installation for SP1, as a matter of fact SP1 is already installed on this computer which only added to my confusion. I decided to go into the Event viewer (I understand very little in there) and I managed to catch something that reads : Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 6.01. 7601 Service Pack 1 Multiprocessor Free. See attachment marked SP1.jpg
This was the only thing I found related to the installation that I saw that said anything about SP1
I need to figure out what happened and since I am a novice in troubleshooting these issues I am hoping someone on here will kindly help me get to the bottom of this.
I am running a 64 bit win 7 enterprise edition of windows
I attached the specs of my PC in the image attachment called computer info.jpg
Could someone please guide me and help me find out what happened?
Thanks
