How to get away from Auto Updates from Win10

You should be able to disable the windows update service from services. I could be wrong. I am sort of new to 10 as I have been using linux a lot

You could prior to the fall update. Now it is no longer an option if your computer hibernates. If your computer hibernates, it will never boot. I think the OP has disabled hibernation so that might be a work around for him.

@vickyg - thanks. I have not turned off H. I am still trying it out so going to stumble around W10

Thanks to everyone who responded and thank you for your answers

I connected my system to the Internet and even with the settings set, it installed a few updates. Actually around 8 or 9, mostly Windows Defender updates which is strange since I turned WD off prior to connecting it to the network. Oh well. Seems to be fine.

I followed the excellent tutorial on this forum to set to notify me of updates. At least I can then choose the timing without work being interrupted.
