Windows 10 Home is the Windows 10 version to avoid when looking forward to gain any kind of control of the Windows updates. You need at least Windows 10 Professional to be able to control Windows 10 updates. In addition to that I would recommend using the latest build or at least 1903/1909 because from this builds on you have the ability to delay updates every 7 days and perform advanced configuration on the Windows update feature. For example you can just Pause updates for around a month totally (up to 35 days in total). And you can configure general delays for Windows updates which will automatically make Windows wait X amount of days before installing updates (this is only for feature and quality updates).
If you have limited bandwidth there are a few easy things you can do to prevent automatic updates. It is easy. Just set your connection to metered and make sure Windows update is configured to not perform any updates over metered connections. Beware though that Windows will also stop downloading drivers and other things automatically for new devices when your network connection is set to be metered. Thus you will have to download and install drivers automatically if a new device is not detected properly.
If you don't want any quality and feature updates there is nothing else you can do than switching to the Enterprise LTSC version of Windows 10. This however IS NOT a Windows 10 version for any normal customer. It is made for business that require a very stable OS with only security updates. So you can't simply get a license for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019. There are ways to activate it but... I'll stop at this point. I have been using this for a long time now and I love it. It also comes without all Windows 10 apps and without the Windows 10 Store (can be installed manually though if needed).
