Have you checked whether the" Automatic Updates" Service is disabled or not?  

Start - Run - type Services.msc, or go into Control Panel - Administrative 
Tools - Services. Double click Auto updates, under Startup type - use the downpointing 
arrow and select Disable, then Apply. 

Note: You need to go back and set it to Auto, whenever you check for updates again. 
You can uninstall any updates you don't want, or those that don't apply to your situation, 
btw.
