1. Sounds odd.

I had a Chrome update show up yesterday, I don't use it and don't even have it downloaded. I have a crappy wireless mouse and it sometimes requires that I left click to wake it up. It had come to rest where the pop up arrived and to cancel it, I had to first click to awaken the mouse which activated the download that I could not stop afterward. I immediately went offline and uninstalled it.

I wonder how it is that I got an update for an app I don't even use. I have WIN10 too but I am picky about downloads these days.

Also, I'm using Spectrum because there's nobody else in my area who doesn't require my banking info, and they sent a notice this past week informing that I needed a new modem because they have upgraded to high speed and the current one can't handle it. Perhaps your ISP is going through something similar?
