    How to effectively disable automatic Windows 10 pro updates?
    Is it possible ? What exactly does "Set as a tariff connection" mean, I know it limits "transfer" but does it stop downloading updates?

    Unless you can set a schedule for downloading updates to connect to "free" internet, without charging your pocket with GSM paid connections, where you will be charged for a package downloaded from the cellular network, expensive in ... when you don't have any "free" and a large GB packet of data from the operator.
    So you set the update time when you're on e.g. an unlimited cable transfer, wifi, and when you use the internet from your phone, etc., while traveling, in the field, then updates are turned off, patches don't download and drain your pockets for our loved and supertan network operators phones ... how was that? 29gr for started 100kB transfer in the PLAY network, when you no longer have the data package to use?
    Two such accumulation windows10.0-kb4074592-x86_8a3ff8c69eea5783f587837d65ac07b70dcc5f58.msu and after my internet from the phone :?: ONE :?: (600MB, and 1GB for 64bit, so that you don't start downloading it out of curiosity ...)
    That's how I understand it "in my own way", the update via the mobile network in the trim would eat the whole 1GB packet that I get when I top up my account, while when using cable it doesn't matter what and how much I suck in my case.
    The question of where you have internet, if you have a certain limit to use, it can be irrelevant, unless there are some discounts, e.g. at night for free / cheaper.

    I also fought with these automatic updates (on Windows 10), I already checked all the possibilities I found on the internet (including emptying the C: \ Windows \ SoftwareDistribution folder; adding rules blocking Microsoft servers in the hosts file; turning off Windows Update; registry changes; turning off update using the program O&O ShutUp10; changes in gpedit.msc etc.) but unfortunately as I thought it was successful after one hour the updates were downloaded again ..
    but I found it so far only an effective way, here it is:


    Application NetBalancer (https://netbalancer.com/download), and in it we set:
    Understanding 'Set as a tariff connection' & Disabling Automatic Windows 10 Pro Updates
    we block -> svchost.exe; Windows10UpgraderApp.exe; System
    SearchUI.exe does not need to be blocked, but I blocked it because in Poland Cortana does not work with Polish language so I do not need anything.

    Read at least about W10 telemetry ;-)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around disabling automatic updates in Windows 10 Pro and the implications of setting a connection as a "metered" connection. Users express frustration with the persistent nature of Windows updates, despite attempts to disable them through various methods such as stopping the Windows Update service, using Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), and modifying the registry. One user suggests using the application NetBalancer to block specific processes related to updates, while another highlights the importance of scheduling updates during non-metered connections to avoid data charges. The term "Set as a tariff connection" refers to limiting data transfer, which can help prevent updates from downloading over costly cellular networks.
