Microsoft keeps trying to force Update 1903 onto my laptop
Lenovo Z50-70 laptop, with Intel I7 processor.
Background: Spring of 2018, update 1803 killed my laptop (along with many thousands of others). Since then I have told Windows that I have a "metered connection," so I can decide when to install updates. That method has worked fine until this week.
A couple of months ago I tried to install Update 1903 using USB installation media. It got to the very end and failed, rolling back to 1803. A couple of weeks ago I tried again. Failed again.
For the last couple of days, Microsoft has overridden my selection of "metered connection" to try to force the installation of 1903. Seven times it has failed and rolled back to 1803. It's waiting for a restart now, so it can fail again. (The definition of insanity... you probably know the rest.)
Please, can someone tell me what to do to end this frustrating cycle?
