After a few weeks, my wife's machine won't update

It is a systemd service with a timer running approximately once a week. If you don’t use your computer for months, the service will run as one of the first things when you use your machine again.

You can see info about the service with commands

systemctl status archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service
systemctl status archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.timer

and even look at the implementation files of the service:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.timer
/usr/lib/systemd/system/archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service
