Can't disable automatic updates - causes severe productivity issues

I've tried everything I can find to disable auto updates and they keep showing back up.  Despite setting updates to "Pause for 5 weeks" my machine did an update last night.

My issue is I set processing jobs to run overnight and Windows kills them to do the updates.  This morning I've lost about 10 hours of compute time because the job I started last night was killed in favor of a Windows update.  So now I'm a day behind on that deliverable because of a Windows update.

Can someone at Microsoft please figure out how to prevent this kind of productivity loss.  It is entirely unnecessary.

At a minimum, just throw up a dialog box that confirms the user's approval to start the update.
