Well sometimes we have people post who think theirs is a magic box or a possessed box that behaves differently, but 10/10 times, it is user error that is to blame.
When you couple your emotional hatred for all things Microsoft, then it gets hard to help but here's the deal.
If you do this, you would not have that problem:
* Start > gpedit.msc [available on Windows 10 Pro - not available on Windows 10 (non-pro) version.]
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Configure Automatic Updates > Disabled [Windows Update will not check for new updates automatically.]
I do not know whether this setting is reset by installing a new major Windows 10 build, which would require it to be re-entered, if that is the case.
But this procedure effectively resolves your problem 100%, on every Windows 10 Pro machine.
Updates will not be installed unless and until you visit the Windows Update page.
The act of you visiting that page will trigger an automatic update install, so if you don't want update installation to commence, simply refrain from visiting Windows Updates and that registry entry will protect you at all other times.
