Prevent windows from running update / scan / whatever activities when started after long delay
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

Every time I boot my rarely used laptop it starts updating Windows / updating Office apps (I see "Office click-to-run" process eating CPU resource), virus scanning, and so on.
Is there some way to either disable such behavior or at least make it use no more than, say, 50% CPU?
It is really annoying when I take laptop to edit some documents or stream video to TV and first 15 minutes I need to wait until all that stuff is being done in background.

I suggest hunting down each individual problem process, identify if it's useful, and uninstall / disable / limit it as appropriate. Open Task Manager->Startup, and disable OneDrive. Office Click-to-Run is an automatic update utility separate from Windows Update, so you can disable it in services.msc and intentionally turn it back on once a month. Depending on the virus scanner, there may be throttling controls or delay controls in its interface.

Welcome to SuperUser. Please Edit your Question (to the left under the text) and set a tag with the precise OS (windows-10 probably) . Someone may have a specific answer to limit any individual process, but it may be different for different OS versions.
