Google how to disable windows update service permanently from the computer management console.
You'll also need the ffg paid software.
1. Du Meter
2. NetLimiter &/OR Glasswire
DU Meter
After installing it, right-click taskbar and activate the du-meter toolbar. It'll will show you upload/download speed at all times.
In other words, if you're online, doing absolutely nothing. Yet, your Internet's doing 1MB/s+, you get suspicious.
NetLimiter/Glasswire
Once you see suspicious internet activity, you open any of these two. It'll allow you to block the offending program. Glasswire has a nice UI but all it does is block or unblock.
Blocking windows processes - esp svchost might cut off your internet so NetLimiter is important. Allows you to rate limit the process. Basically, windows update temporarily stops trying if download speed's 1KB/s or less.
NOTE:
Some spy blocking software for Windows 10 help you to block MS's ad-servers, tracking and windows update. However, this is a cat and mouse game - hence, the above tools are your best bet.
