How to turn off automatic updates in Windows 10

Its so frustrating when windows automatically download the windows update files without noticing us. Most of the time we are using a limited wifi network or sharing mobile data to our laptop. But windows 10 has no direct way of turning off automatic updates.

But with a little bit of work we can do it.
First go to Run and type gpedit.msc . This will open Local group policy editor of windows.
Navigate to Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates and go to Windows Components and from there locate Windows Update folder. Inside Windows Update there is a separate setting called Configure Automatic Updates. Right click on it and go to settings. From there choose disabled and apply.

Doing the above method will not disable windows updating feature, Whenever we need we can manually check for updates and install them without losing our limited internet bandwidth.
