Interesting.  This leaves me with some questions.  Like, what did you install and how \
did you install it?

I just created a new F32 VM from Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso.  When I \
booted into the live image and checked the status of packagekit-offline-update it \
showed.

● packagekit-offline-update.service - Update the operating system whilst offline
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/packagekit-offline-update.service; \
static; vendor preset: disabled)  Active: inactive (dead)

I then did the "Install to Disk" and rebooted.

There was no message about installing updates.  And, when finished the "Welcome" \
procedures to create my user I check and the status of packagekit-offline-update was \
unchanged.

So, how can I reproduce what caused your system to do something different?
