So, Windows messed up big time. I checked the "Defer Feature Upgrades" option when I reverted back to Anniversary Update, and it STILL downloaded Creators Update! I have other important upgrades as well, but now I can't install those, cause it will install Creators Build as well, in fact, I can't even shut down or restart the laptop! I am so done with Windows Update!

Recently I was offered the Creator's build, which I don't presently want. What made it easy to deal with this was this setting:
- I get a notification- but nothing is downloaded.
I then changed this setting:
In your case, I suggest you consider those and deleting the content of
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
