What is the update app doing?
I don't remember installing it, Microsoft updates don't save as apps. I'm worried it might be some kind of virus?

If the app is signed by Microsoft and located in system directories, it's likely legitimate. If it's unsigned, from an unknown publisher, or behaves suspiciously, remove or quarantine it. Always keep your system protected with up-to-date antivirus and security patches.
You can't uninstall it from control panel if you don't like it.
It will be used for system update, no worries!
It is a system app and no worry about it.
It is a new user interface for Windows Update.
