One of the options when you are using WI-Fi on a Windows 10 laptop (this is under network connections) as I recall is "Set this as a metered connection"
You will have to search for it since I do not (At this time) use it
Metered connections blocks some things. like auto updates. I will set this when I get back on the road for my phone's hot spot.
NOTE: I have not had a laptop where I have it hooked to my phone for a while and thus I do not know if that option still exists, as they do updates sometimes things get lost. And it may depend on your Wi-Fi card/chip/Driver.. not sure.
