AFAIK you can't completely disable updates & it's a very bad idea to even try.

Every time you have the chance, run updates, and install everything
applicable. Do it first, never postpone it, and then it will never
rise up and bite you by installing them automatically at the worst
possible time.

Anyone who complains that Windows tries to install updates when they
weren't ready or it wasn't convenient is someone who's been putting
them off. It's as simple as that.

It's like cleaning your teeth. You really need to do it at least
daily. If you try to put it off and put it off and then do it all at
once at the end of the week or the month, you're going to end up
looking stupid and quite possibly in a nasty mess (covered in blood,
rotten teeth... or a damaged Windows install that tried to update just
 as you had to give an important presentation, or get off a train, or
something.)

There is no excuse and only 1 way around it.

Do it, do it on a schedule, do it often. *Make* time for it, or you
will regret it later.

I've been following this policy for over 20 years, and making sure
clients' machines do it too, and never _ever_ had one of these "OMG it
wants to do it *now*?!" messes.

They are 100% user error.

The same goes for Linux distros, _especially_ rolling ones. I run
openSUSE Tumbleweed among other things and that means booting up
unused machines and updating them sometimes, so you don't need to do a
huge one when you need it.

Trying to rely on extended support is foolish, same as using pirated
anti-virus.

When it's dead, it's dead. Let it go. If you *must*, use end-of-life
OSes for games, ideally isolated from the WWW. Use them online and one
day you _will_ get 0wned. Don't do it.
