Est-il possible de pause the Windows Mise à jour download?

I'm on a slow dial-up connection, and my Windows 8 is downloading some critical updates. The connection keeps disconnecting, so I was thinking if it was possible to pause the updates download?

Il s'avère que that vous pouvez stop the windows update service manually, si vous avez Administrator privileges.

Open a `cmd` prompt as Admin (clic droit the .exe et choisissez Run as Administrator), and type

```
net stop wuauserv

```

Vous pouvez start it again with

```
net start wuauserv

```

As suggested by @arolpx, I had a look and stopping the Background Intelligent Transfer Services (BITS) manually will ensure that Windows Update cannot transfer anything.

From the linked source:

If the service is disabled, then any applications that depend on BITS,
such as Windows Update or MSN Explorer, will be unable to
automatically download programs and other information.
