W-10 unexpected update

Been ignoring the W-10 updates for a while (by using the X=close, not any of the buttons. Anyway a few days ago I left my computer running, early evening, and went off to watch the tele. Only things running were Outlook (Office) and Firefox. Came back to my computer sometime later, on my way to bed, woke up the screen to switch it off and was faced with a 'Welcome to Windows 10' message. Damn thing had updated itself while I was away from it, without any request from me.

A couple of days after this MadsMum went to wake up her laptop, first thing in the morning, only to find that it was in the middle of an unrequested W-10 update. Then she was chatting to a friend of hers, mentioned this and the friend had had an unexplained update as well.

Something odd happening (I would suspect they have changed one of the boxes from 'Tick if you want this' to 'Tick if you don't want this' but that's just me being suspicious.
