    This is exactly what I was looking for.
    Here's my story:
    I kept clicking "remind me in an hour" for the update notifications, because I didn't want to update it when I was doing homework. Over an hour later, I hear my PC beeping. I check - Windows 10 is rebooting. WTH. Then I wait a second, and it turns out, it's preparing the Creators Update. Then it tries to install it. The installation screen had awful resolution, even though Windows already knows I use a 1050p monitor.
    Then I wait for the system to finish. But guess what? After half an hour with just 8% done, the system just says "I give up!" and it restores my old session in my previous version of Windows. That is just asinine. I know my PC was old, still having the Vista Home Premium Identification code, but the hardware has been upgraded specifically to meet W10's demands! The worst part, I couldn't find a way to disable it altogether without installing third party software, because Windows didn't present me an option to disable updates. Seriously.
    That's why I needed this video. Either it's going to work, or I'm downgrading to Windows 7. Even if Microsoft ditches updates for SP2 or whatever in 2022, I'm still not upgrading. Windows 10 is a disaster.
    EDIT: 1050p, not 1080p. Also, Home Premium, not Ultimate
    Also, years later I ended up not downgrading. :\
    If I am to change the OS now, I'll go for Linux

      Windows update service can be disabled by deleting their associated .dll files.
      Here's how:
      Open services through Task manager
      Find the BITS and wuauserv services and disable them
      Open windows\system32\
      Find qmgr.dll and wuaueng.dll
      Take ownership of these files using properties and move these files to another disk
      Now those services will never run.
      If you want to enable them again, transfer the .dll files back to the system32 folder.
      Note: In case you lose these files you cannot use dll files from another version of windows like windows 7 or 8.
      Instead you will have to repair the windows on the computer or reinstall it.

    When I opened up my new Win10 laptop straight out of the box, it immediately started Windows updates. It started at 1345 and took 1 hour to download. From 1445 until 1830 it was installing the updates at a snails pace
    On restart it fell back into the Recovery Mode, as it wouldn`t boot to Windows,
    So using Recovery mode I eventually got it back running, not forgetting to disable Wi-Fi to stop this updating all over again.
    On that day the data usage recorded was 8.2Gb

    Two years ago I started using Windows 10. Thought to myself, "Finally". Then watching a movie right in the middle of it, and installed updates, then after 20 minutes it started playing movie again. Installed Windows 7 and forgot it. Then last year started reading how to stop the spyware and delay updates. So I did all the setting, and worked fine, until...Got delayed updates two weeks ago, and here we go again. Every update brakes my Dell laser printer drivers. Chrome became almost unusable, had to reinstall. So I thought a reinstall was due. Reinstalled it, and it took me straight to microsoft saying my version of Windows 10 was out of date. Installed update and nothing works as before. I am so, so I'm sick of it, I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate, and can not believe how fast my machine is! If I have to disconnect from the internet I'm done with forced updates, and legal spyware, and legal junk ware!

You can still manually download the updates which will show up as available but require your input before downloading (also tells you the size of the download).

    Yeah, Microsoft sometimes break things with updates. A case in point, recently some people would have UA-cam Playback issues from the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. According to reports, UA-cam videos were turning black all of sudden in full-screen mode. Softpedia has a guide telling folks to rollback to the older HD Graphics driver. Yes, Windows updates can fix bugs, but can also create them as well.

    I didn't really have any problems with windows until the latest build. 18362 randomly fails to shut down properly, the start bar would just lock up and startup problems are common. Even installing the OS came with problems as they force you to use an outlook account now. Physically unplugging the patch cable works but you must do this before the prompts and it does seem silly to lock people into a MS account. Anyway, many thanks for the instructions, all applied.

    I feel I have no say what the OS does these days, it restarts according it's own will regardless of what settings I have used.
    Until now I've been relatively happy to leave the services running because I could update when I wanted, but now that the end-user settings have no effect anymore, I'm just going to disable the services, edit group policy, delete scheduled tasks, make wifi metered and add 1 MB monthly limit, and so forth. These forced restarts significantly lower my willingness to pay money for this piece of crap.
