Then again the Show/Hide Tool doesn’t work with Priority Updates.

This is very useful if a particular update is causing your system problems. Instead it allows you to ‘Hide’ an update from Windows 10 so if you uninstall it Windows Update will not try to reinstall it automatically. Unlike the three options above, the Show/Hide Tool is not proactive so it doesn’t stop any automatic updates from downloading and installing. Instead it can be downloaded from Microsoft here. Strangely the so-called ‘Show/Hide Tool’ is not part of Windows 10 nor can it be found through Windows Update.

Automatically Shut down Windows 10 after installing updates (after a reboot) After configuring the above Windows Update options, Windows 10 will download updates, install them, and restart your computer automatically. Note: Windows 10 Home users have to sit this one out, it is only for Windows 10 Education, Pro and Enterprise editions. Windows 10 won’t restart the system during active hours. This is a halfway house: the group policy editor will notify you about new updates without automatically installing them (how previous generations of Windows always worked) - though again security updates will still install automatically. Windows 10 is the single operating system working across all Microsoft desktops, laptops, tablets. Note: If your PC uses an Ethernet cable to connect to the Internet the Metered Connection option will be disabled as it works with Wi-Fi connections only (silly I know). Toggle ‘Set as metered connection’ to ‘On’.Open ‘Wi-Fi’ and click ‘Advanced Options’.

While Microsoft doesn’t reveal its method of classification, this does cut down more frivolous updates which typically include new drivers and software features - both of which have already caused stability problems. Windows 10 offers users on metered connections a compromise: to save bandwidth Microsoft confirms the operating system will only automatically download and install updates it classifies as ‘Priority’. To re-enable Windows Update simply repeat these four steps, but change the Startup Type to ‘Automatic’
