Generally speaking, Windows 10 will update automatically. What happens when the updates cause issues on our systems? Can we turn it off?
Go to Settings, (gear icon), Updates and Security, Advanced options and select to turn On “Download updates over metered connections.” This action “disables automatic downloading of most Windows updates.” The exceptions are critical security updates.
Periodically you should return to update page and manually download and install updates. If any cause issue, go back and uninstall the culprit update.
