Windows 10: Stop Windows Feature Update v2004 from installing - Windows 10 Pro

I have Windows 10 Professional and v2004 Feature update installed but caused sleep issues and problems with some of my apps so I rolled it back and went to settings to deferred Feature Updates to 180 days. BUT the next morning [today] v2004 again downloaded and awaiting install after reboot!
WHY? Did I do something wrong? Is there a way to do this with Group Policies instead. Can I prevent the downloaded version from installing again or do I have to install and rollback AGAIN? Very frustrating!

Windows 10 installing progs

Fresh install, upgrade... doesn't matter. This is a feature of Windows 10 unfortunately... They periodically install apps that they want to promote.

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.
