Windows 10: How do I stop Windows 10 Resume Updates!!

I was trying to get info on the latest Window 10 update since I've heard so many bad things about it and now see that it's been delayed till Microsoft figures out a better way

Thing is I was poking around on my PC and and clicked "check for updates" not knowing it would actually download! You'd think it would just "check" for updates right? and not start the process.

So I paused it and have it set to resume on 11/9.

However when it resumes it'll be continuing with the older update that is in question.

Is there way to PERMANENTLY remove this download that started and stop it from happening? I believe it was at 17% of a download so it hasn't actually started the installation.

This is a brand new machine and I have A LOT invested here.

That doesn't stop windows update from grabbing them on next run, at least it didn't back in the RTM days. It simply stops a secondary process from installing them immediately.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
