That would likely be the default settings trying to avoid times when you normally use the machine to install the update.

    this was before the 7day(?) delay option appeared, there was no config. and in many cases the update wasn't shown on start menu and shutdown/restart looked innocent until i clicked them and it started updating lol. i later just killed wupdate permanently via registry from safe mode.

    That's a different thing.

    Deferring updates is one thing, updates being distributed to random numbers of devices each day is a different thing. MS has "update rings" with random devices, every ring gets the updates on a different date. You can "force" Windows to grab updates if you click "Check for updates" after Patch Tuesday if you didn't get them automatically (I think).
