The people at novirusthanks.org made a free product called WinUpdateStop. It is an active service that persistently prevents Windows updates from happening. Yes, you could disable Windows services and do registry things, but this is a more active approach. And it has a nice interface allowing you to easily enable or disable updates.
The software was free up until March of 2021 with version 1.4. As of version 1.5 it is a paid product requiring an annual subscription. Out of respect to the work of the authors I won't provide a link to v1.4, but I'm happy I always keep copies my downloads.
