There are some tools that disable Windows updates. I don't know how well they work since I don't use Windows but you should check them out 8)

kosio-t23917yTurn metered connection on and it won’t download and install new updates.
But if not VS then Windows would not worth the effort. My PC in different OSes:
-Linux-blazing fast what a great PC I have
-macOS-so quiet and fast, everything builds for seconds and loads for seconds
-Windows-WTF is this crap, how am I supposed to use it, it can be silent and slow AF or like a fucking airplane battery eating monster. -
Yawks2437yWindows is not my daily driver but I use it once in a while for graphics editing and such. Usually after weeks so most of the updates are usually large. Disabling them is a bad idea.

w10 sometimes b0rks dual boot. The reason is that for larger updates, it installs a second stage installer in the bootloader, potentially overwriting things belongning to grub/linux (this is especially true if linux partition is first on HDD)
Solution: install linux on a separate drive (or even a thumb drive) and use your BIOS "Boot Menu" (F12) to select what you want to boot.

Ok. Kill me now. WTF! This thing gets to 100% and starts all over again? Probably going to mess up Grub. I hate these updates. Restarted twice now!
