Why did Windows 7 just install an update?
I had imaged my drive before MS dropped support for Win7 last month. So I thought I was prepared. But I was really surprised when I booted the system up just now, and found Windows doing a pretty lengthy update that took some 5 to 10 minutes.
After booting into the desktop I got no notification about the update. And there's nothing listed in the 2 locations I look for recently installed updates... Windows Updates and Programs and Features > View Installed Updates in Control Panel.
Has anyone else seen this, or know what it's all about? I really wasn't expecting something like this to pop up so soon after the Jan 15th when MS dropped update support.
EDIT: Event Viewer shows 1 entry where Windows checked for updates at 3:43 AM before I shut down the system, and a 2nd for the system being shut down. Above that shows Automatic Updates and Windows Update Agent logging events. Listing keywords: Health,State - Connection - Success, Check for Updates - Check for Updates.
There's 46 events lists there for today. 36 of the most recent are duplicate Event ID 40. I see no information in there on what was installed. But I'm really not familiar with how to interpret what I'm seeing in there.
Thoughts anyone?
