Manfred,
There is no "turn off updates" in win 10. You can turn off upgrades, but
upgrades are the large version changes. Like from 1511 to 1607.
Once you set the connection to metered you should effectively stop the
normal updates from happening.

I'm going to try this and see if it works for the dialup connection cause
that's where I need it. If it doesn't work there then it won't help much.
I'll keep looking there's got to be something.

For the updates, set your connection type to metered.
To change this option, open the Settings app, head to Network & Internet >
Wi-FI, and click “Manage Known Networks”. Choose your modem network and
click “Properties”. From there, enable the “Set as metered connection”
option. This option only affects the Wi-Fi network you’re currently
editing, but Windows will remember this setting for each individual Wi-Fi
network on which you change it. (If you haven’t gotten the Anniversary
Update yet, this option will be in Settings > Network & Internet >
Advanced
Options.)

So I got the new laptop from Fred which works very nicely. Thank you Fred.
However I have some questions about win10. I seem to remember that there
was a way to keep it from updating all the time. I tried getting on line
with a USB phone modem and couldn't do anything because the darn system
took all the bandwidth to do some kind of updating or communications of
some sort. So after about 5 frustrating minutes of being told that the
internet is not available or that google or Mozilla could not be found
even
though the first two little pictures on Google chrome had started to
load,
I gave up and pulled the phone line. The modem had been working away with
both LEDs blinking away so it was doing something. The communications
monitor list of the security showed a bunch of updates and other stuff
that
either worked or after I pulled the plug showed a fail.
The other little problem I have a question about is does anyone know why
a
modem would cause all the other phones in the house to ring in a
continuous
tone as long as it is trying to connect. This happened with the internal
modem but not with the external usb connected modem. The only thing I can
figure there is a bad driver or possibly a bad modem. Not a problem but a
puzzle that has me wondering.
