TeamViewer is remote access and remote control software.

you can use RevoUninstaller free to remove it completely from your system
if that is what you want.

best of luck Steve ..

then i would uninstall and/or disable remote desktop on your system
because something using TeamViewer is connecting to your system.

Yes, delete it. It's something trying to gain remote control of your computer. Microsoft's Windows Update doesn't do that.

No, this is not associated with the renamed Link to Windows (Phone Link) Someone is passing themselves off as "WindowsUpdate" to access your computer remotely.
