Turning off Windows updates entirely is a really bad idea, anti-virus products can only catch malware once it's out in the wild whereas windows patches can close vulnerabilites before the malware has even been written to take advantage of it. Furthermore cryptographic malware can make clearing malware much more difficult than simply running MBAM.

Using Never10 or GWX Control panel allows you to keep the protection of the updates without having to worry about Windows 10 getting onto your machine.

EXACTLY! just as I recommended in my earlier post, but anyone who is just 'seeing how it goes' or 'seeing what happens' is just asking for trouble. No matter how much good advice you give, there is always that small number who think it does not fit their picture.
