See options for managing how and when Windows Updates are installed.

Set your Internet connection as metered:

Option 2:

Use Active Hours and Restart options:

Option 3: 

Use Show/Hide Updates tool to block the update:

Is there an option or work around to block updates or hardware drivers that might cause problems?

Yes, Microsoft has released a KB update (KB3073930) that will let users block or hide Windows or driver updates.

You can download it at the following link:

Option 4:

Press Windows key + R

Type: services.msc

Hit Enter

Scroll down to Windows Update

Select it then right click it

Click Properties

Under the General tab, choose Startup type to DIsabled

Click Stop

Click Apply then OK

Option 5:

Before carrying out this procedure, disconnect from the Internet. That means turning off Wi-Fi and disconnecting from a wired connection. If you don't, Windows 10 will indicate some files are in use and cannot be modified or the command will be non-responsive. Also, you should restart your computer after disconnecting from the Internet. The easiest way to do it is to enable Airplane mode from the Action Center - Windows key + A.

Stop the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.

                           net stop wuauserv

                           net stop cryptSvc

                           net stop bits

                           net stop msiserver 

Option 6:

Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro which can pause updates for up to 35 days or block them for a year.

Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation

Click the link ‘Go to the store to upgrade or enter a product key’

Click the $99 button to make your purchase (the price might vary by region or depending on the edition you are upgrading from or upgrading to).

Follow the on screen instructions to make your purchase.

Within 5 to 10 minutes, your system will be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, your personal files, apps and settings preserved. 

You won’t get a product key, you get a digital license, which is attached to your Microsoft Account used to make the purchase.

Option 4 obviously doesn't work since it'll just enables itself like I said in my original post.

For now, I'll got with option 1 with the metered connection. I'll give it a day or 2 to see how it goes.

Option 6 is out of the question.

Option 2 is definitely a no.

Option 3 doesn't have a link to what you want me to download.

Option 5 sounds a bit tricky, mind me telling what is actually does by stopping all of those and is it safe?

The "Cmdr" is completely right. The updates are part of the operating system. If you don't want the updates, you don't want Windows 10.

Because updates are an integral part of Windows 10, Microsoft provides no way to prevent them. With the Professional edition you can delay updates, for quite a long time, but you can't stop them permanently.

You can, of course, stop updates from arriving at your computer by breaking Windows 10. That will work, but interfering with Windows' normal operation has consequences.

In past, several years would pass between new versions of Windows. With Windows 10, there are two new versions every year (in spring and fall.) Since the success of an upgrade is directly proportional to the quality of the pre-existing installation, there's more pressure on users to operate their computers correctly. In earlier versions you could get away with configuration mistakes for years (don't ask how I know) as long as you didn't upgrade to a new version of Windows, which anticipates a supported configuration.

Roll back to windows 7 everybody, it is a sure fire way to stop windows 10 :)

If it was easily that possible, I would've done that by now. Since I bought my system which is already pre installed windows 10 in it. Though I saw forums and discussion that even Windows 7 and 8 have some problem where they're forced to upgrade to 10. Is this actually true though?
