Windows 10: Delay the upgrade to Windows 1803

I have Windows 10 Pro.

I would like to delay the upgrade to Windows 10, version 1803. However, I want to update other programs, like Windows Defender & Adobe Reader. Right now, when I go to Settings > Update & Security, the only option I get is to download all of them (which also means they will install).

Is there a way to delay just the Windows upgrade? I'm willing to make registry changes to prevent the upgrade & undo them later.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

:)
