I disable the Windows Update service. The easiest way to get there is to type 'services' in the search box then click 'Services Desktop App'. Scroll down to 'Windows Update' then right click on it and select 'Properties'. Change 'Startup type' to 'Disabled'.
When you want to update, change the Startup type to Automatic. Then go to Settings and click 'Update & Security' and check for updates.

If you are not regularly backing up your computer, like right before the second Tuesday of the month, you are asking for trouble.
I know a doctor that recently had to pay $25,000 to get his files decrypted from ransomware. BTW he did not pay the ransomer's, he paid a security firm to rescue his files.
A 1TB USB drive can be had for less than $50.
