I know on win10 you can't totally turn off updates, and on some builds/versions you can however 'defer' them. You can also turn off how you recieve them. IE, not as the mutual share / bittorrent method, which can use your machine to host updates for other people.
I see where there is mention of an option that you can disable so that it will not download over metered connections, but I have not been able to find exactly where that is.
On our road jobs, we setup a mobile office trailer and stick a hotspot in it, and just buy a data card to refill it for the duration of the job. Usually there is a guy with a tablet out there full time, and maybee a super that floats thru with a laptop.
The (convertable) tablets we have all upgraded to win 10, as did the supers laptop. When windows pushes those big 'feature' updates, if both those guys are in the trailer, they can eat up a few gigs of data in a day or two. I need to find out how to kill the updates over the metered connections, and let them wait to update till they get home on their landline wifi, etc.
Any one know? I know it must be somewhere under the update and security section, but I just didn't see it. Is it under the wifi / network/internet section somewhere?
thanks
