You DO realize that WIN 10 HOME EDITION DOES NOT HAVE WINDOWS "REGISTRY EDITOR" OR "GROUP POLICY"?? Unless YOU have found some sort of "hack workaround" there is no way you can fully turn off or disable automatic updates on Win10 HOME edition..
Only Pro and Enterprise versions can use Registry Editor and Group Policy and even then you can only DEFER or DELAY the automatic updates for a SHORT TIME. It was done this way to allow for businesses IT departments to FULLY TEST THE UPDATES BEFORE ALLOWING THE UPDATES TO BE PUSHED TO THE CLIENTS.
Win10 HOME EDITION you can only set it to "metered connection" and that ONLY works for WIFI.. Does not work if you plug an Ethernet cable into your PC..
I am not convinced that you can even turn off Windows Update Service (WSUS) permanently either on Win10, I am very sure MS IS smarter than that..
