I wouldn't argue that I haven't given consent if I have "download updates automatically" in my settings.

That being said, Microsoft should use better judgment in terms of checking for available disk space (i.e. don't auto download 6GB worth of updates unless 20GB+ space is available on the drive) and not saturating customer connections since the update is by no means critical (i.e. limit it to 10% of the user's bandwidth)

I don't think 20GB is enough to make 6GB a trivial amount. I'd say more like 100GB.

MS needs to prompt when downloading amounts of data over a few hundred megabytes, period. There are still places in the world where a prompt is required even for amounts measured in megabytes.
