Windows 10: Why is Microsoft Able To Deliberately Override Wushowhide?

Microsoft is persistently trying to ram the Windows 10 21H2 feature upgrade down my throat.The upgrade is not compatible with my system.It fails every time at the last hurdle after tying up my system for hours each time and it then restores to the previous build.I've lost track of the number failed attempts.I keep hiding the update using wushowhide but, just like clockwork, once a month at around the same date in the month the update mysteriously disappears from the hidden update list and the download starts again.Not all previous settings are restored as I had them... which means wasted hour

WUShowHide Tool showing driver updates that aren't listed in WU


When I run the WUShowHide tool, it lists drivers that are not listed in the main WU interface. Even if there are no updates in WU at all and it says it's completely up to date, WUShowHide still lists some - things like Intel SMBus and memory controller drivers. Why is that?
