Can they be scheduled to suit me? My pc is an HP Intel i5 vpro 64bit and is pretty fast for normal working.

If you're running Win10 Pro I think there are ways to schedule (or disable) updates, in Home I believe not (I'm obviously not counting the useless "active hours" nonsense).
The only thing I hate about Win10 is with the Aniversary Update it just updates whenever it wants. To disable that (on Home or Pro) you can do something like this, it works but it shouldn't be necessary.

I know it doesn't solve your problem directly but if you get into the habit of putting your computer to sleep rather than shutting it down all the time, and implement the "fix" I mentioned above, then you'll be able control when your computer installs updates. That's what I do and I don't even notice the updates anymore.
