I turned off auto updates by setting my games to update only when I launch them. This way, I control exactly when the updates happen, and it's been a game-changer for my data cap issues!
Can't see why you'd want to disable auto updates. They keep your games fresh and fix bugs. But hey, to each their own.
Disabling auto updates on Steam is pretty simple! Just go to your game library, right-click the game you want to stop auto-updating, and select 'Properties.' Hit the 'Updates' tab and then in the dropdown menu you can choose 'Only update this game when I launch it.' Bam, no more surprise updates when you least expect them.
