    Hello, had you researched tenforums you would have found many threads on this topic listing ways to do this and take control.

    Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10
    Using CMD script and VBScript to control Windows Update

    Free:
    Sledgehammer
    ... and more

    MS can overcome trivial methods- and this may especially be the case near end of service life for a build.

    Personal choice: Sledgehammer (formerly WUMT Wrapper Script) which also uses WUB.

    However I also hard block and unblock only when I want to run Sledgehammer to check for or install updates.

    Mr. Wang, you can disable the "Windows Update" service, but Windows Update Medic Service can re-enable it afterward.
    I have never disabled the "Windows Update" service, and updates have not been installed automatically.
    How do the people in your nation control Windows Update?

    Press the Windows key + R and run WinVer to view the build number.
