It is quite difficult for an inexperienced user to figure out what the problem is and find ways to solve it. The solution is quite simple: to refuse automatic software updates and update them yourself when the device is not so necessary for work.
It is very easy to do this by changing the update settings: at your discretion, you can make the device perform them only via Wi-Fi, never or always.
