  An alternative is to 'Pause updates' for x weeksi [1]. For example
that's how I prevent unwanted updates during holidays (vacations),
especially this time (June update cycle).

  There are many ways to stop updates, both by built-in tools like you
described and by third-party utilities, but 'Pause updates' is built-in,
simple and probably sufficient in most cases.

  FWIW, I fully agree with your sentiments. For 20++ years, Windows
updates have never been a real problem for me, but ever since October,
Windows Update is having/giving problems or/and the installed updates
have caused problems. The June cycle *seems* to be OK sofar. Fingers
crossed.

[1] In a future update :-) 'Pause updates' will probably become more
granular and with calendar date selection.
