I just tried it again but this time I turned off the allow apps in Comodo's
safe app database.  Windows update caused an alert to popup when the safe
database is turned off.  The culprit identified in the alert was wupdmgr.exe or
something like that.

If you go my route for extra safety don't set auto updates service to manual. 
I found one time that somehow even though it was set to manual that the service
got started.  Not trusting that situation, I started using the disabled setting
so it couldn't be started unless first re-enabled.
