I just finished installing the 8978 FF00 HDA driver on my dad's Toshiba Satellite C55DT-A laptop a few days ago.
before that I was checking his laptop and GAAAHHHH the Win10 v1909 Home OS on there started downloading & auto installing updates on the Update settings window without my intervention [OH NO!]
fortunately, I immediately pressed the "airplane" button on the keyboard to put the laptop in Airplane mode (thus cutting off the wifi connection) and then used something like windows update blocker (wub) to stop the auto updates entirely and to clear the contents of the \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ folder.
windows update blocker can be obtained here:

after emptying the \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ folder and rebooting (with the wifi connection off since it was still in airplane mode), I then run windows update blocker again to enable most of the update services, then turn off airplane mode to restore the wifi connection and finally set the wifi/wlan connection to "metered"
I always have to remind myself to meter those internet connections (aka. set all ethernet/LAN & Wifi/WLAN connections to "metered") to cut down on unnecessary bandwidth usage and to stop some of the W10 auto updates. reason why the Win10 OS started to download & install updates without my consent on the Toshiba laptop is because the connections were not "metered" earlier when I should have done that sooner or before installing a new Realtek HDA driver.
