Was this reply helpful? For the time being, I temporarily disabled windows update service from services. But still, since I already downloaded these all updates from a different unlimited plan internet connection and installed one by one not downloaded from my own internet plan. After enabling the windows service again, it again started downloading all those already installed updates.

So I had to stop and disable windows service again. Any way to freshly check for new updates? Currently it is still trying to download same updates which I have installed manually one by one. Windows 10 is not able to remove installed updates from it's history. Also there seems to be a bug for updates, that if I stop my data connection not disabling the windows service.

It should have stopped if data session ended. I was also not able to figure out how to forcefully make the windows check for updates rather than downloading without verifying these updates have already been installed or not I have also read one thing on some blogs, if I set my current connection as a metered connection , then it won't automatically download and install updates.

But I couldn't figure out how to do that also. Please let us know if you find any clue for these issues. Best Portable Monitors. Best Gaming Keyboards. Best Drones. Best 4K TVs. Best iPhone 13 Cases.
