It just starts updating, can take hours, rendering my laptop useless when I need to get work done

Watch the video, it walks you through how to do it. It is just a work around. Not sure if it works on the Pro version if that's what you have.

You can join Windows Insider and choose to get slower updates. I do this and it seems that my updates arrive after they're pushed to the general public.

Haven't watched that video to know if it covers this method, but you can change your network settings to tell it your connection is a metered connection. Then it won't download updates.
