Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I would like to disable the automatic updating feature.  I hate it!  I live in a rural area and must use a mifi for internet service.  I just changed data plans because the updates suck data!  After changing my plan, I came home and turned my computer back on.  Of course it began updating.  The update used 9.6 GB!!!  Absolutely ridiculous.  I use my computer desktop primarily for emailing and uploading lessons to my students.  No updates should be needed for this.  Help!!!

I can't comment about that. I don't know why your updates took over 9GB, must be many thing more in your machine, not just Windows,

 

To stop Windows updates, please use the following method
