With all due respect to this official microsoft solution, it's a huge pain in the complicated ass for casual users to follow. GWX Control panel is just click, click, done - something you can tell your grandma to do.

Unfortunately, it looks like that same tool could make it a bit too easy to disable Windows Updates altogether, which is not a good idea.

I'd rather endure some pain with going through the registry route, but apply a fix that addresses only one particular behavior.
