How is my computer connecting to windows update with no internet connection available?

Question

No wi-fi. No ethernet. No Bluetooth, subspace, nothing!! Seriously though, I have logs proving it. "Yes, my time is set correctly on the timestamps." Anyone else out there noticing updates occuring say, with the computer off while you're sleeping, etc. SERIOUS answers only please. (Wow this is going to turn into a crazy thread...I just know it.)

Answer 1

Your computer does not have to have internet connection to have windows update.

However you still need another computer which has an internet connection to download the WSUS Offline Update portable tool then transfer to your computer
