Billie, No need to be the prophet of doom! ;-) I agree the Windows 10 default settings for their Updates are not ideal, but the solution is available in Settings as per the the following:- Click on the Windows 10 icon (left side of Taskbar) > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options > Choose how updates are delivered > The slider should be On .. now select the Radio button marked - PCs on my local network. This prevents any outgoing updates traffic going on the Internet, and will only provide data to any other PCs that are classified as belonging to your Local Network (if you have one). You can now close the Windows dialogue page.
