   Nothing gives you the option to pick and choose. That's the
new Windows as a Service. It's not your device. It's Microsoft's
device. You only own the hardware, which gives you the right
to move the device anywhere you like. The functionality belongs
to Microsoft.

WUB works very well, but you have to make a decision: Do you
want to control your own computer and give up updates, or
do you want to let MS control things? If you're one of those
people who believes MS updates are critical for security then
you'll have to let them own your device and spy on you.

   In theory you can periodically disable WUB and download a
security update to install by hand. In practice that's not realistic.
Some updates are not available for download. Even when you
can download them, it's been my experience that Win10/11 is
a very brittle system and that Windows Updates are problematic
unless you let MS handle it. They don't want you tweaking. They
don't want you picking and choosing. For example, I still can't
open the Metro/UWP Privacy applet. It warns me of a buffer
override and rambles hysterically about malware. Why is it
broken? I'm not sure. Presumably bit's some privacy tweak that
I applied. Last summer I tried to install a security update. It failed
miserably and finally refused to install. Yet for an update that
never installed, it sure did a lot of damage. I had to reinstall a
disk image backup. So be careful if you decide to take control
and then run updates.
