While I recommend a switch to Linux/Mac, you can make updates behave like Win7 by opening "Edit Group Policies" in the start search. Then look for Windows Updates for the option.

Without this done windows will actually download updates automatically while you are ingame or something else network sensitive, it's so fucking stupid.

Is that setting available in Win10 Pro, or just enterprise?
Enterprise. Pro has the 'delay till we say it's time' option.
Thats wrong. Pro lets you choose not to download it indefinitely with the option I described.

Unless you're implying it auto-downloads after a few weeks, I wouldn't know.

AFAIK you can disable it but it will enable it automatically after a while again, so it's not indefinitely disabled.
