“My PC fully installed Windows 10 overnight last night without my knowledge or consent.”
So your PC downloaded Windows 10, and installed it....while skipping past all of the human interactions that you have to engage in before it actually does anything?
I just installed it on a laptop today, and I had to click yes on the EULA, sign into my wifi, and chose a partition before it did anything, not to mention sign into my MS account!
Your PC could not have “fully installed” it. It would be the first time in PC history an entire OS downloaded and installed itself blind on a PC with no human input.

The automatic download installs and opens a win10 installer program without any human interaction.

On hubby's laptop, JUST WITHIN THE HOUR, he was working away, and a Windows 10 update screen appeared, counting down from 15 seconds till install begins. The ‘cancel’ button in the window would not work (a fake?), but we rescued it by powering off, turning of the wireless router, and opening it again. It opened with a big red ‘caution’ screen, windows 10 install failed, click try again or your system may not work correctly, blah blah. I went to look at the installed updates and deleted the last few ‘windows system updates’. That required restarting and voila! no update activity - plus the little windows10 update icon in the systray was gone too. Dang sneaky if you ask me. 15 second countdown (to save your work) and automatic install? It was happening though.
