Yes this is also what i recommend to people just to be safe, i think with metered connection enabled it wont even download any updates let alone install them. In addition to that in windows 10 pro you can specify the kind of updates you do want to receive. ex. in my screenshot below i have it configured so that i only receive crucial/security updates and i have it setup so that those big feature updates are delayed by a whole year. And you can even enable "pause updates" which disables all updates for 35days at a time

Windows 7 experiences problems with Windows Update after a lot of updates. Microsoft resolved the issue, but you must install the update. It may take up to 4 hours or longer based on your system speed.

Are you thinking about Linux for basic field use? It’s worth considering.

I developed a strong affection for Linux Mint in 2015 when my previous computer could no longer run Windows 7. It gave an old machine a fresh start, now nearing its tenth anniversary. I still maintain a Windows partition on my photo editing laptop for my projects, but otherwise rely almost entirely on Mint.

I solved it! I woke up this morning and saw the updates downloaded and installed. Thanks to everyone who commented.
