How to finally stop Windows 10 updates and upgrades?

I like updates! I like new free updates!
But it’s really frustrating to me, that Windows 10 breaks my work and reboots my PC to install their update/upgrades.
Unfortunately, there is no way to fully stop updating using the Windows interface.

Why StopUpdates10?
Early, you can stop Windows update service to block updates.
But it does not work with latest build of Windows 10.
Windows 10 is able to restore Windows update quietly in the background using a special “WAAS Medic” service and some scheduled tasks.

This why I created a small utility StopUpdates10 that gets back control over updates to me.

StopUpdates10 permanently stops Windows updates!

StopUpdates10 blocks executing of the Windows upgrade processes and polls the state of Windows update service. If the service starts, StopUpdates10 stops it again.

What is new in StopUpdates10 2.0?

Added Updates Guard.

Updates Guard is a system service, working in the background.
It polls an activity of Windows update service. If Updates Guard detects the change of Windows Update service (Wuauserv”), it will disable it.
Updates Guard is started automatically. It takes a little bit of system resources.
