Best to stay on topic to Windows 10 auto downloading, and not Mac VS PC thread tho.

But @ OP you might want to consider not following that guide to get rid of the GWX (Get Windows 10) app on your PC completely, especially if you have a Data Cap and you do want to get W10 at a point down the road, because the folder which most of those guides tells you to take ownership and delete contains some of the new OS already downloaded.... which if you follow and delete you'll just need to redownload it again later on costing you more bandwidth.

I got rid of the whole GWX because it was doing that background download into my SSD where my OS is at... and yeah only got 240gb of that to go around, didn't fancy it being taken up by an OS I wont be jumping over to any time soon. (also don't have a data cap so re-downloading the files here is less costly for me)
