Windows 10 Automatic Update Issues? See How To Disable It

The release of Windows 10 is now becoming an old
news. Our eyes and mind now should concentrate
on how to make windows 10 suit or match our
taste. In this life, its natural that every thing that
has advantage must surely have a disadvantage
and windows 10 is not left behind.
In Windows 10, you're set to automatically install
new updates. And you've no choice to change this
settings. Because the change settings option is
disable. It is really annoying for your computer to be
updating itself without your consent or your
approval to do so especially if you don't have
enough internet data for the updates. you find out
that unnecessary updates are the things that drain
huge part of your internet data. Am absolutely not
impressed by Microsoft for excluding the option to
turn of automatic updates in windows 10.
It was not the same story for previous windows
versions like the windows 7, 8, and 8.1 where users
can easily and manually tweak or set their personal
computer's auto update settings to suit a particular
moment. Imagine a situation when all you have as
data is only 50MB and you want to use it on you
personal computer (laptop or desktop), and the
automatic update is running in the background... i
bet you that 50MB won't take you for at least 45
minutes on minimal usage because the background
operation is going on. You might not even be aware
of what is going on but the truth of the matter is
some of your hungry software and
outdated software are busy secretly
updating themselves with your meager 50MB. Isn't
that annoying? Of course it is
very annoying because at the end of the day
you won't achieve what you set up your mind to
achieve just because the background
software were updating without your knowledge.
Well, don't worry as am always here to give solution
to you "Techs" problems. You know that before this
windows 10 era, the previous windows had the
option of turning this worrisome act off by choosing
from any of the four options in the update settings
menu. You have the option to select installing the
updates automatically whenever there is an update
available, the second option is to allow your PC to
download updates but let you to choose whether to
install them or not. The third option is to allow the
computer check for updates but lets you
choose whether to download and install them and
finally, the last option which allows you to tell your
PC not to check for updates at all. This last option is
somehow not recommended because of security
reasons but it comes in handy for someone that has
a limited internet data. You can always switch on
your automatic windows update whenever you are
connected to a free WiFi source or when you have
enough internet data that will be sufficient for the
updates.
Now to windows 10 where these settings are no
where to be found, what will be saviour of someone
that has limited data and want to try and manage it
to send that very important mail? Like i said before,
You don't have to be afraid; there is surely a
solution to any Tech problem. I will be stating the
steps you will take to enable this feature in that
your system running windows 10. Am going to take
you to Windows Group Policy Editor; our starting
