How do you know it didn't find a way?
I recall fixing someone's computer ten or fifteen years or so ago who then asked, "What happened to my wireless internet?" I asked to see their DSU, was told they didn't have one.
After talking with her for a while I realized that someone had built wardriving software into AOL's client, and it was connecting to her neighbor's WiFi by cracking WEP.
That was disturbing. And exactly the sort of thing one would expect of an untrustworthy corporation.

If you use the default settings, it does. WiFi Sense could also be to blame. Win 10 has several interesting WiFi settings that I turn off on any Win 10 comp I come into contact with.
Windows 10, designed to connect to the NSA behind your back even when you pulled the cable. Now imagine that you are a big enterprise and one of the Windows 10 PC's opened a wide open security hole by connecting to the wifi of the neighborer.
It could have been downloaded a long time ago and was waiting in the wings for the go-ahead. Microsoft did not roll out 10 upgrades to everyone at once. The upgrades initiated in batches AFAIK. Did you notice ~8GB mysteriously disappear from your laptop at any point prior?
Windows sees all.Windows knows all. Windows does not need petty things like 'internet'. It is 2016,and there is time for Windows,your only friend.Trust in Me.
I wonder if it didn't download while you were on WiFi like a week ago, then decide not to install because it was low battery, and maybe you charged it enough to trigger the install.
You did say it was a laptop.

My guess is you either connected to a network without realizing it, forgot you were connected to a network, or it found an unsecured network?
You can't honestly expect a correct answer from such a vague post. I'm not going to play 20 questions if this is really a anti-Windows 10 circle jerk.
My default answer is always to blame the user when it comes to posts unless I know they are intelligent and know what they are doing.

It doesn't take a ph.d. in computer wizardry to turn shit off.
You must not work in IT.
Still defaulting to user error because If your actual radio is off and you aren't hard wired in -- then the OS isn't going to turn on the radio to reach out and get updates. And also because of your attitude. That's the same kind of attitude that start off with "I didn't touch anything!"
Odds are you downloaded updates previously and have just been delaying them somehow or another.

Does Windows 10 automatically connect to unsecured networks it finds?

Wifi-sense strikes again! Windows 10 May Share Your Wi-Fi Password with Facebook
I wonder what else it's doing behind your back?
Got Duct Tape?

So how does that happen when he doesn't have Win 10 installed yet?

Wifi sense has to explicitly be told, "Share this with this contact,"

Windows 10 is one giant worm.
That is exactly why I have no Wifi on my PC.
