Turn off auto updates for Windows Defender

Turning on "metered connection" in your network settings will stop defender auto updates.

Ms work hard to keep you safe and offer free bug fixes and security updates if you dont update your pc will always be at risk and may have fautts. It is your pc and you want to put it and personel data at risk then its your choice as long as you understand the risk

Hi,
Defender updates are usually pretty small doubt it would work.
Usually would only stop larger build updates.
