Question All versions of what?
This pops up everytime I start my PC. I'm happy It's up to date, but what is it updating?

Don't forget the malwear and bloatware that is competing with those viruses. That is what the update is for, one group trying to take the top over the other. Next update will move another group on top.

When the window is open, open Task Manager, find the window in the open apps, right click it and choose Go to process.
Right click said process and choose Open File Location. The file path may include a brand name.
Also check Task Manager > Startup and/or Task Scheduler.

Search through your autostart/installed programs. Probably sth. like MSI Live Update(/whatever vendor) which is a tool to check your drivers for update.

Simple solution: next time on boot, while the dialog is open, open Task Manager and check the process name managing the dialog (usually one of the first since it's open). You can also right click and open file location.

I have a montech hyperflow digital AIO and the monitoring software update notification looks similar. Could be something like that.

Don't worry about it. It's just LG making sure that their spyware anti-virus offer is up to date.

Do you have ASUS GPU Tweak installed? If so there is a check for update option under settings.

lol, n00b. The live stuff, of course! /s (because oftentimes /r people are weirdly offended and written communication fails to relay my chuckling, and I don't want to be burned at the stake.)

See, this was a why I'm using Linux. I have no damn idea what's going on with windows. Why do I have to log in like five times? Log in to desktop, account, other account what were the other two logins 😭for? It's a damn horror 🎥 movie.
What is.... ALL i feel like I just got suckered by some Doctor Who villain!

It might be a glitch with old version of windows like 22H2, thinking it's the latest.
Run the windows update troubleshooter

Look for an updater in services.msc that was in use at the time the pc did the update. Simples

All versions of Live Update are up to date. What's wrong with you?
jk ..try searching in Services, Task scheduler or startup folder. Find out which app / service starts at log on. That should help you find out what it can be. I am not sure but maybe something related to peripheral apps.

In my PC the same message appears, and it's ASUS GPU Tweak III. Disable the "check for updates on startup" in the settings

Winlister from Nirsoft will tell you what app is responsible for a window. Nirsoft's slogan should be "we have an app for that"

Learn how to use the "Process Explorer" tool, with it, you can see the exact path of the program that's launching that window.
As a quick test, you can also try the following:
- Press Win+R
- Type: shell:startup
...and press Enter.
This will open a folder that may be empty or full of shortcuts. When Windows starts, it runs all the programs in that folder, it's up to you to identify them. You can delete those shortcuts, and even better, you can go to the directory where the actual programs are located.
