It's the Windows 10, google it there are various solutions to this issue, but the best thing if you connect to the internet a lot with your laptop is just to roll back to Windows 8.1.

Check the version of your win 10. If it's not the most recent, it will keep updating to get to most recent.

Download netlimiter app. You will see the apps consuming your data. You can block them by ticking the two buttons in front of them. All the best.

If you disable system updates on Windows10, it would enable itself after some time. System updates can't be disabled like windows7&8
