I have experienced the same. Much to my frustration.
I recall at one point reinstalling a program over and over, until I realized there was some unannounced embedded process mucking up the works... and no, it wasn't a virus as I feared, it was the operating system performing "as advertised" somewhere deep in the user agreement.
I remember advising people that eventually, the much-used, almost ubiquitous commercial operating systems will begin to "use" us, instead of us using it.
"Pushing" software updates happen when you really don't "own" what's on your device. Most "user agreements" are now all for the benefit of the business... and all most e-businesses do is "take."
