This is not a question about upgrading to windows 10!
I have read many times that in windows 10, you cannot disable automatic updates, which means windows 10 will download updates automatically whenever it is available.
Doesn't Microsoft know that this change would negatively affect people like me who have limited bandwidth and pay higher price for data? (This is almost true for people in developing countries).
Is there any response from MS about this?
Does MS really considered these people when they released their new OS in 150+ countries?
Is there any workaround for this?

Answer
It is possible to disable updates, its just little trickier.
One thing that came to my mind is to disable Windows Update service completely (open Local Services, search for Windows Update in list, open properties and choose Disabled).
However, this is answer that you are looking for: https://superuser.com/a/837949/193287
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update\AUOptions
If you set AUOptions to “1”, Windows 10 will never check for updates.
