How to disable? Taking up too much bandwidth so I'm typing this instead of watching a video while eating lunch.
On win 10 pro you can defer them, but you can't disable them completely.

JMich: services.msc and disable the Windows Update service.
Where is it located?
I'm on Windows 10 Home BTW.
I don't remember the steps, but I read you could mark your connection as mobile data, so the updates wouldn't automatically download, but you could still update the PC manually.

Win+R for run dialog, type services.msc to open the services. Can also go there from control panel or by typing services in the start menu.
In W10 pro you can easily change the autoupdate behaviour through the group policy editor, but in W10 Home you need to make some registry tweaks:

Run regedit and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

Create a new key under Windows key and set its name as WindowsUpdate. Next, create another key under it and name it AU.

Now under this path, in the right pane, create a new DWORD AUOptions:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

Set its value to 2. The following options are available

2 – To notify for download and notify for install
3 – To auto download and notify for install
4 – To auto download and schedule the install
5 – To allow local admin to choose setting

Or use this registry key file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By9lkIY9lljxVU9aRWNDUVdKWHM/view?usp=sharing

Restart to apply the changes.

Note that even using those settings, W10 is really invasive reminding you to install the updates. At first it show a notification in the action center, but after sometime, it start showing a window reminding you that are updates to install, and not left you to make anything at long as you not click in this window.
