Question MsiInstaller

I have updates turned off.
Have been for some time.
When I want to check, I do it manually.

I see in my Event Log that numerous attempts from MsiInstaller have occurred
today, failed, and was just wondering why MsiInstaller is trying to install
when I am secured on this end.

I can post specific Event Log data if it helps.

Thanks

MsiInstaller does much more than just Windows Update.

Okay.
I give.

Since I didn't try to install anything, and one of the items was "Journal
Viewer", which I don't have, can you tell me what other things MsiInstaller
does on it's own without me asking it to?
