As central as it is to the core of Windows 10, Windows Update is actually just another Windows process so it can be stopped with these steps:
1. Open the Run command (Win + R), in it type: services.msc and press enter
2. From the Services list which appears find the Windows Update service and open it
3. In ‘Startup Type’ (under the ‘General’ tab) change it to ‘Disabled’
4. Restart
This was passed along to me by one of our longtime members.
