Windows 10: Stop Automatic Windows Update [Take Back Control].

I basically want to STOP [take control of] WU's [Windows Updates] from turning my computer on or checking for WU's when it feels like it. I want to be able to just check for WU's manually and when I want to. I have put this together and wondered if there is anything that I have left out that I could also include.

In Services, I have stopped the Service status, set the Startup type to Disabled, in the Recovery tab set the First, Second, and Subsequent failures to Take No Action.

In regedit, I have created a Key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows] and Sub-Key [DWORD (32-bit) Value] and set it to the Value data: 2 [Notify for download and notify for install].

In gpedit.msc [Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update], I changed the Configure Automatic Updates [in the settings list] to disabled.

In Task Scheduler [Library\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate], I disabled the UpdateAssistant.

In Settings [Update & Security and Advanced Options], I turned Off Receive updates for other MS products when you update Windows, Download updates over metered connections [extra charges may apply], and Restart this device as soon as possible when a restart is required to install an update. I also turned Off Show a notification when your PC requires a restart to finish updating.

In Delivery Optimisation, I turned Off Allow downloads from other PC's.

is there anything I have left out please?

Thanks in advance.

:)
