There is another way to stop the updates within Windows 10 Home by going into the Network and Wi-Fi and setting the toggle to Metered-Plan so the OS will not download thinking you are on a pricey pay-to-download plan.
Funny part of all this is MS thinks their updates are critical for security purposes to protect us from others, but seems THEY are the ones who are also hosing people's computers with bad updates like the recent November one. They've become their own worst virus.
Mine (Two week old new notebook!) is going back in for the second time in two weeks to the shop tomorrow. It came with 10 Home and now it's tossing up random "Error - Overlap: Duplicate ownership for directory" messages and programs are slowing to a crawl and freezing up. Ran okay before Windows Update attacked which was quick.
Fwiw, I spent the day going to four different shops trying to buy a "boxed Win 10 Home" (Has a loaded thumbdrive in it.) to wipe the drive and start fresh. They all were sold out. Only empty display boxes. One sales guy said they had 10 but they are all gone. Seems people are trying to fix a broken OS update or something. For a free OS, it isn't working out that way.
