M$FT just can't seem to get its sh!t together.
Possible solution for Win 10 Home users: upgrade to Win 10 Pro. Updates will still be a pain in the neck but you'll have more control over when the updates are applied.

Microsoft recently promised Windows 10 users "control, quality and transparency"
Call me skeptical.

And there’s updates every time I turn around. That’s why I use my tablet for everything I can.

10 caused me to go get a Mac, it’s absolute rubbish, loved XP though.

but you'll have more control over when the updates are applied.You can easily stop automatic downloads. No need to upgrade if you don't want to.

As they stuff more and more bloatware into it and call it “part of the operating system” [it isn’t] there is more need for updating.
If I had a choice, it would be linux all the way.

I have to use my Verizon smartphone hotspot to get to the internet as AT&T is the only ISP here and they are over-saturated and refuse to upgrade.
So I'm on a metered connection and STILL MS ran an update on me. Cost me my whole month's worth of data. I check it every hour or so when I'm not on the backup (like I am now) I disable the mysteriously restarting (all by itself) Update Service.
I used to like Windows, but now, not so much...

Read the third paragraph of the short excerpt. It clearly says you CANNOT stop the upgrades in Win 10 Home.
Of course, you could always turn off wifi. They aren’t going to send a SWAT team to your house to install it from a DVD-ROM. Well, at least I THINK they won’t.

NO! You cannot stop automatic updates in W10.
(Ok you can if you never turn on your computer...)

Just stay away from WiFi and the Internet and you’ll be fine.
