You can use this to set the release to lock to.  11 25H2 (to avoid 26H2).

   https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

One problem is, the enablement package (745KB) is likely
already on the machine. It's not clear whether the four
or so registry locations InControl loads, will be enough
to cause that nag to go away.

If I was in that pinch, my sequence would be.

1) Disconnect from network
2) Insert 25H2 DVD or ISO, mount the media, run Setup.exe
   This will do a Repair Install of your current 25H2.
3) When desktop returns, use InControl. Set the release to 11 25H2.
   That's what mine is set to right now (no nag).

4) Connect to the network, and allow Windows Updates.
5) This should bring you back to 26200.9457 , whereas the
   enablement would have bumped it to 26300.9457 .
