trick for win 10 is to set lan connection as metered. Google "set lan connection as metered windows 10" and disable automatic updates in control panel.
every so often.......2-3 months I change connection back to unmetered and enable updates and bring everything up to date.......and once finished change it back.
Mind you im on classic plan and do this during the free zone.......last time I did it I had about 12 gig worth of updates.

Please be advised the "metered" only works on designated wifi connections. If you connect by Ethernet cable the metered setting will have no effect.
There is registry edit that allows wired connections to be declared as metered but it requires as registry hack.
Also understand that after each Win Update episode that all settings need to be reviewed as many updates will cause Win10 to revert to its default settings.
actually updating has NEVER changed registry edit for me(I know this cause I have all 5 entries set to metered aka 2....when I do an update I change only ethernet to 1......and after update still only ethernet is 1...rest are 2)..........and I stated to Google "set LAN connection as metered windows 10" and it would bring up how to do it on some pretty mainstream sites.
If your not comfortable editing a registry key(BTW its step by step with pictures) then you could bring your PC to local PC repair shop and im sure they would do it for $20 or less.
Really though Microsoft should stop hiding stuff in the registry and add it to the main interface like they do the WiFi.
