Is there ANY way to completely stop downloads/updates to my PC? I bought some software. I got it just how I wanted it and all of a sudden, the settings are all changed. No notice, nothing. Microsoft isn't the only one doing this without notification. The updates aren't a virus so my antivirus software ignored.
Try limiting your broadband by going to Steam Settings Downloads (tab) and limit it respectfully. If you only get 15 Mbps download speeds then limit it under it. What I have found that the limit has to be significantly under you speeds. For example where I live I can only get 15 Mbps download so I have to limit the bandwidth to 512 kbps. Also you may want to change your download region (when in doubt go with dallas in the US).Other things you may want to do include contacting your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Do a Throttle test on the internet.
Check your network drivers or switch from wireless connection to wired if you use wireless. I'll post back on here again once I find some more options or possibly a solution to the issue.

I usually get 100 but have seen it peak to 500, neither worked.
As said, I've also changed my reigion, still nothing.I'm not throttled, and can't switch between wireless to wired, but from a quick Google, others who're having the same issue, still had the problem occur when switching regardless.
