Windows 10: How to disable automatic update in Windows 10 when I'm AFK?

Sometimes when I go afk for an hour or two and I come back, I found that my PC decided to restart itself and update without my consent Windows 10, version 22H2 is that helps. I know for sure it wasn't done manually by anyone else, so I assume it is one of the Microsoft's newest inventions to rustle people's jimmies. Is there any way to stop this, aside from disabling the updates completely? I know there is an option to pause updates - but I don't mind updates themselves, I'm only trying to make sure it is done when I want to.Thanks in advance for suggestions.
