Windows 10 downloads all updates at once — how to select only one?

Hello,

I’m using Windows 10 and Windows Update is set to “Notify for download”.

When updates are available, Windows shows a single “Download” button, and when I click it, all pending updates start downloading at once.

Is there any way in Windows 10 to download or install only selected updates (specific KBs) instead of all updates together?

I want manual control over which updates are downloaded, not disable Windows Update completely.

If selective download is not possible, I’d like to know why Windows doesn’t allow this and what the recommended workaround is.
