In this case as you want to pause the updates once and for all, follow the procedures below.

2. Scroll down the page to find the Windows Update service;
3. Right-click on the service and select Properties;
4. Click the stop button;
5. In Startup Type change to disabled and click OK;
6. Restart your computer.
You can use Group Policy to block automatic updates. This ensures updates are downloaded/installed only when you want them:
1. Open GPO snap-in by running gpedit.msc command.
2. Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update.
3. Double click Configure Automatic Updates policy setting, select Enabled. Then under 'Configure automatic updating' section, choose 2 - Notify for download and notify for install.
4. Click Apply, followed by OK.
Multiple reboots will finally disable auto updates.
