So I found out, all you have to do to prevent this behavior is to change your network connection you're using into a metered connection. What a metered connection means to Microsoft is the connection you're using is over some circuit which charges per MB/GB what have you. Obviously, Microsoft didn't want a bunch of angry customers saying Microsoft is costing people money by forcing them to do updates over a connection which charges on the amount of bandwidth you consume.
I've been running in this configuration for months now with no issues. I don't even have to change the wireless NIC I'm using in my laptop to a regular connection type to do updates. When I'm ready, I just go into Windows Update and do a manual update.

Thanks, I will give that a shot.
