How does one bypass the evil unhelpful Windows 10 settings barriers to get it to *(@&$% let someone NOT auto-install updates?

Asked by Zaku (30382points) September 14th, 2016

I am trying to help someone who has evil freaking Windows 10 on it, to reduce the evil auto-update behavior, but I am getting thwarted by the evil simple low-powered decoy settings page that has lame crippleware options like “schedule at most 12 hours per day when you are allowed to use your computer and NOT have it shut down automatically to install updates”.

Surely there is some hidden place to actually be able to stop auto updates and/or other real settings that offer at least somewhat more control over when Windows 10 updates itself (and loses your work in progress etc)? Anyone here know where/how I might find that?
