Windows 10: Fresh Install want to go online ONLY to activate, stopping all updates

I have gone through the tutorials and a few seem to fit what i need to a degree but nothing mentions what i want to do and that is go online activate the machine and NOTHING else, no windows updates no driver updates, nothing.

Right now i am runninghome when key is for pro version 1809 build 17763.379, so i want to go online activate back to pro so i can do some tinkering before i go online and do updates etc, if anyone has any suggestions for the best way to do this i'd be glad to hear your thoughts.

Fresh install, Win Update issue

I've just done this on several computers at work. There is a download from Microsoft that will help with the initial update after a fresh install! Give me a sec. and I'll find the name:

Windows6.1-KB3102810-x64.msu

I think if you just search for the KB3102810 part you will find it online somewhere. It's just slightly more than 3 MB in size. We waited over an hour with one of the processor cores pegged with nothing happening. This was on a fresh install of Win 7 64-bit SP1 and we were just trying to get the very first update (the one before the massive ~1 GB of updates)

I never saw a .msu before but it runs just like an executable. It will still take a few minutes after you have that patch installed for the update to run but you won't be waiting forever like before.
