METHOD 2. Disable updates using Group Policy
On
Windows 10 Pro and enterprises you can use the Local Group Policy

While automatic updates remain disabled, you can still download and install patches manually from Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and clicking the Check for updates button.
Method 3. Turn on Metered Connection
For some reason, Microsoft only offers this option if you are using a WiFi connection. If you connect to the Internet through an Ethernet cable you will not be able to set up a metered connection.
Steps 1: Click the Start button and then click the Settings app. OR Press Windowkey + I.
Steps 2: Click Network & Internet.
Steps 3: Open Wi-Fi and click the Manage known networks.
Steps 4: Select your network in my case its Realme and click on the Properties.
Steps 5: Scroll down to the Set as Metered Connection and Turn it ON.
Method 4. Disable with Software
StopWinUpdates is portable, but it acts and looks like an installer
which we found confusing. Double-click on the executable and choose your
options. By default, if you want to disable Windows Update, that's
checked by default. You will see prompts, again, that makes it appear
the program is installing, but it's just applying your changes. StopWinUpdates
will exit when completed and you'll want to reboot for the changes to
apply. If you change your mind, rerun the app and make any changes you
need and restart again. Additionally, there are registry hacks to block updates on Windows 7 and 8.1. Overall,
StopWinUpdates is another excellent app to disable or enable Windows
and Store Automatic Updates if you don't mind the installer style way
that StopWinUpdates works.
Steps 1: Run StopWinUpdate as Administrator.
Steps 2: Select the option you like and click Next.
Steps 3: After finish the disabling process click Finish to restart your PC.
