Hello, I am Sai, a Microsoft Community Independent Advisor. Do you have Intel's Component Updater or other manufacturer-enabled updater installed on your PC?

Why is this update downloaded to my computer without my calling for updates? I have the computer on pause for updates, but somehow this update downloaded itself....
Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

Also, on Windows Update, I would recommend that you check to see if the pause is still enabled. Sometimes, Windows will only let you pause for a certain period of time before it is required to check for updates.
