You know of course you don't have to get every build. Read the blog post about new build and read other members opinions before deciding. Let the downloaded upgrade just stay there, moving the automatic install date up for a few days:
When that day comes and you have not decided yet, move the restart again.
While the upgrade is sitting there, you can restart and shutdown without executing the upgrade:
If then a new build arrives before you have decided, run Disk Clean-up selecting Clean up system files, then selecting Temporary Windows installation files to remove the upgrade files:
Windows Update still thinks the upgrade is there; click the Restart button in Settings / Update, Windows restarts and fails to upgrade because the required files are missing. When back on desktop, let Windows Update download the next build which it will now find instantly, and start the thought process again :)
Simple. I call this "My Ring", deciding myself when and which build to install.
I admit, though, opting out or switching to slow ring is even simpler.
No, I really have reasons for this "My Ring" instead of switching to Slow Ring: First, this way I get all builds as soon as they are released. Second, if I switch to Slow Ring or opt out and then a new interesting build arrives which I want, switching back to Fast Ring might take a few days before I would get the new build.
"My Ring" is Fast Ring on steroids, offering each build but letting me to decide which and when to install.
