@Fhtapia,

Thanks for the reminder about that link  'metered Wifi" and, for the Win-10-Pro
users the policy settings.

So much to learn, remember, and then remember differently as Win 10 evolves

I'd read of the metered connection hack before. :-)

Also, just confirming that *my* problems were caused by KB3140743 initially, on
3/2/16

I am a Mac and Linux user , but I like Windows 10 a lot more than 7. It's fast
and easy to navigate....

You can disable Windows 10 updates on home and pro.

tl;dr set your network as a metered network and updates do not auto download.
