Windows 10: Module Updater set to Manual, running by itself

Running on Windows 8.1, I see that Windows Module Installer is running time to time, even though my Windows update is not set to automatic, Module Updater service is set to Manual, and I have not initiated an update. How could this be explained and what can be done about it?

To resolve this, you can manually uninstall and reinstall Trusted Platform Module. To do so, see the steps below:

• Open Device Manager on the device on which you are experiencing the issue
• Uninstall the Trusted Platform Module driver.
