That is my BIG gripe with Windows 10, that you have so little control over MS assuming control of your machine effectively whenever they like (even with Pro when I was last on Windows 10), so I suppose the only way to properly assume a semi-decent level of control yourself is as you say "only gets internet connection when it really needs connected"
