I have no clue how it got installed and why it got installed. I do have docker installed but i don't have Kubernetes installed via docker. I was assuming it was due to killer intelligence but i got no idea how to verify or check that.

This isn't a kubernetes process. This is a result of installing docker and how it configures itself to enable you to run kubernetes locally. The string "kubernetes" is coming from your hosts file even though you might not have turned on the feature to use k8s.
If you open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, you'll see a line that associates "kubernetes" with 127.0.0.1, your localhost.
So, while netstat may show "kubernetes" as the destination address, it's a little misleading because anything going to 127.0.0.1 will show up as "kubernetes".
netstat -ab will show the executable associated with each connection if you want to verify.
