How to Stop Steam from Auto Updating
Easy peasy! Just open Steam, head to the upper left where you see 'Steam' > 'Settings' > 'Downloads', and you'll find an 'Only auto-update games between' option. Set the time to when you're least likely to be using your PC, like 3-4 AM. This won't stop updates entirely but will make them less intrusive.

Honestly, just let Steam do its thing. Auto-updates mean you don't have to worry about manually downloading updates for bug fixes and new content. It鈥檚 like having a car that magically fixes itself; why would you want to stop that?
You can also go game by game if the blanket setting isn't your style. Right-click the game in your library, select 'Properties,' go to the 'Updates' tab, and choose 'Only update this game when I launch it.' Perfect for keeping those data caps in check!
To directly answer your question: One does not simply stop Steam from auto-updating; one merely schedules it to when it's least inconvenient.
