    how to stop the download right now


    Hello,
    Since upgrade the window 10 could not be finished succesfuly, each time I connect to the internet, it unknowingly starts to download a big package of the upgrade and it refuses to be deleted.
    How can I stop the download except pulling the internet plug out, so I cannot make a normal browsing. I will make another attempt to upgrade in the coming weekend, but how to stop the download right now ? The normal updates option is still disabled.
    Need some help
    Thanks


    :)

  2. How to stop the download of the newer version?

    How do I stop the download of the newer version? It always automatically does it and then my speakers don't work! How do I turn off any automatic updates?

    Hello and thanks.
    Thats the problem, I tryed many times, update runs until about 72 - 75% and at some restart it freezes and nothing goes on, even left it over night - so this is a Merry go Round, try to update - freeze restore from image and again.
    What I asked is how to stop it, cannot be microsoft takes over my computer.

    Cannot install windows - computer received with windows installed - do not have the installation disk, and besides, this will erase all my programs including office, thats the problem.
    At this weekend I'll make another try after googling for some answers.
    Thanks
