    Why is Windows downloading updates if it's been paused?


    I've been trying to clean up my computer since it doesn't have much storage left, and I've paused the updates as well until next week... Still, upon checking Temporary Files it says that the Updates went up to 663 MB, but it wasn't like this a few days ago, and it's not the first time it happens. So how can I delete that if they're paused and why does Windows do it??

    :)

    Why is Windows downloading updates if it's been paused?

    Windows 10 forced download

    ^This, then reboot and go to manually update windows. Find KB3035583 in the list of available updates, right-click and "Hide this update" so it doesn't get installed again next go around.
