    Most welcome. :)


    I agree with this statement and is why I had originally asked this question. Thank you for your comment.

    I have not turned it off but enabled 'Set Windows Update to notify only' in the 'Winaero Tweaker' recommended by MasterChief.

    Off-topic: Is it correct to use the definite article 'the' before the proper noun 'Winaero Tweaker' that is followed by an adjectival participial phrase?

    'Set Windows Update to notify only' in 'Winaero Tweaker' does not work at my end.
    It just installed updates automatically, and I had no way to stop it.

    This from the "Choose how updates are installed" in Settings > Update and Security > Check for updates.
