Open cmd and run as administrator
net stop bits [enter]
net stop wuauserv [enter]
Go to Cdrive, windows folder, software distribution, and delete download folder.
Next, Windows folder, system32, and rename catroot folder. Restart pc. Done.
I don’t know if this actually worked because my pc would not boot up nor reset. As Microsoft is keeping secret on how to do a true factory reset, I had to reinstall windows 10 from a usb flash drive. Costing me money for a problem Microsoft caused and would not reveal the secret for a true factory reset nor refund the cost of the usb flash drive. I am now too scared to try again.
Please do post and let everyone know if this works for you.

i agree. if i could find an alternative for my programs, I would do the same. it sucks. everytime i open my computer there is an update it seems, and the more updates, the more this formerly computer slows down and i need it to be fast for the software to operate fast. it is not right and invasion of privacy as far as Im concerned. why does bill gates spend all of his money in africa? what doesnt he spend it on the terrible issues we have here in the US. Same way for the Oracle from Omaha. Our society has gone to hell and they monitor us like we all have ankle bracelets up our asses
