And in Windows 10, it is pretty much impossible to disable, even for business customers (although they can delay it longer).
The Windows 10 Insider Preview(s) are designed this way- since their entire purpose is to test the new bits with each release, your only options really are either the fast channel or the slow channel which controls how quickly you receive each build, But you cannot stop them entirely.
The option to disable or prevent updates should return with the RTM release. Allegedly, they will continue the Insider program, and allow people to download Windows 10 for free, but those "free" licenses will be unable to turn off the automatic updates.

From what I've heard, any Windows 10 user will be unable to disable or delay updates.
I'll be moving my laptop up from Windows 8 to Windows 10.
My Desktop will stay on Windows 7 for the moment.

Hilariously enough, breaking after the apostrophe makes no difference in this case because anything after the article number and the slash is ignored by the website.

Well let's look at that. They do say that. But what is their source? A Screenshot, which they took from the insider preview- alright, well, that could just be the Preview. it also sources the specifications page:
"Windows 10 Home users will have updates from Windows Update automatically available."
Which isn't clear. I found other information here:
This doesn't make it clear either, at least not in regards to Windows Update. It says that devices will be kept up to date with the latest version. I understand that as being in contrast to currently, where we would have say Vista/7/8/8.1 systems, all on different versions. It doesn't imply- to me, that the windows update options to download/ask or ask/download will be unavailable in the RTM release.
The thing about all the articles being written is that they are taking quotes from these various blog posts, and trying to reinterpret them in rather odd ways.Updates being available doesn't mean they are downloaded and installed automatically- otherwise that would be odd phrasing. Furthermore screenshots 'substantiating' the lack of update options are using the Insider Preview, which is intended to restrict update options.
We'll need to wait for the final bits- or some information from Microsoft- to see exactly what they intend to do with the RTM. The way I read it is that Home users would have new versions of Windows made available via Windows Update, but handled similarly to Windows Update with 8.1 and earlier (with the various options) and for enterprise users, the domain administrator and group policies could be used to prevent Windows Update from seeing anything but security updates.
I might but i like using 8.1 the only reson i might upgrade is for dx12
People using the Windows 10 Insider Preview have found it difficult or impossible to actually disable Windows Update.

I have no idea what the forums are doing, the link is there.

I foresee forced updates in a business/enterprise environment causing a lot of headaches. I wonder how this will play with WSUS/SUS?
Too poor to afford my certs.
WSUS should end up working the same way, so in that case you won't have to worry about forced updates.
