This can be turned off... You can use the group policy editor to set it up like windows 7. I just did this on my dev machine this weekend after being bit by it. Now I get notified of the updates available and can choose to install them at my whim. No more coming back to a rebooted machine and all my development windows, webservers, etc are no longer running. I have windows 10 pro, so I cannot speak to how this works in Home, but I would be surprised if a developer was using the Home version anyway.
