Hi Roger, you can do a custom install of updates. That way you can refuse the ones you don't want.

In my in-box is an icon saying to update automatically. But does this give me a say in what is installed? For example I do not like Windows Defender and have always refused it when the update is ready. If I don't have a say where do I go to get the option to refuse if I want to?
