[SCCC] Uh-oh...

Here's how I do it.  Left-click on your wireless network in the taskbar, 
click on properties, change it to a metered connection.

ushaft seems poised to command us to drop our drawers, bend over, and
grab our ankles yet again...

We are all doomed... Does this give you a warm fuzzy feeling?
"Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said "... Our promise to you is this: we
will create more opportunity for every Windows developer today and
welcome every creator who is looking for the most innovative, new,
open platform to build and distribute and monetize applications. ..."

I haven't yet been able to figure out how to completely stop ushaft
from performing updates on my "new" W10 laptop, although I did manage
to get it to stop interrupting work-in-progress when it
"automagically" downloads said updates. This means that while the
laptop no longer directly interrupts N1MM running a contest with
their cutesie-pie little "notices", it still performs downloads in
the background then insists upon installing them when I shut down the
machine. Anybody know how to completely stop this
downloading-and-installation behavior? One of these so-called
"updates" seems to have disrupted operation of a schematic-capture
program I've been using since the very early 2000s that works better
than anything else I've tried on W-XP, W7 and early W10, but not with
a W10 "update" performed earlier this year. I now have to run that
program (CIRCAD) on my old, clunky and SLOW W7 laptop.
