I used to stop and disable wuauserv as I'm on a metered connection but MS still went ahead and used up all my data allowance DL'ing their updates.

Now it's all grayed out - can't touch their precious updater - so I disabled BITS.

I’m also on a metered connection. One of the main reasons I’ve rejected W10 from the start is MSFT’s desire to be able to update your machine when ever they want to.

It’s MY computer damnit! I paid for it and they have no right, I don’t care what the EULA sez, to come barging in and do what ever they want when ever they want.

I’ll run Win 7 till the day I die. MSFT can take the ‘windows as a service’ idea and shove it.

MSFT attempts to scare folks into updating to the latest by announcing they will no longer support product x or what ever. People ask me what they should do about this. My response is always, ‘When was the last time you contacted MSFT for support on product x?” They usually answer never. There ya are.
