My MacBook Pro appears to be installing something every time I start it up. This can happen multiple times in a given day. I'm not getting any upgrade notifications. Anybody have any ideas what might be happening?

How do you know it's installing something and what is it called?

Welcome to the forum.

As Ashwin asked, how do you know that and what are the names of the products being installed?

Why are you starting it up multiple ties a day? Why not just leave it on?
