W11 automatically downloading AFTER rollback to W10
I'm pulling my hair out here. I "upgraded" to W11 on launch day, but use a Ryzen CPU. Obviously performance issues on my generation of CPU are well known now, so I rolled back to W10 on my 10th day (...

Download might be happen automatically but installation would need your permission so if you don't click to install, it won't install.
Now if you upgrade to Windows 11, you will given 10 days to roll back but if you don't want to upgrade to Windows 11, I suggest wait and do not upgrade.

You are unfortunately wrong. When I move back to Windows 10, not everything works. I have to install some optional updates, and some search for cumulative updates. So, you have to click "check for updates". When you click this, everything installs yes, but this includes Windows 11. It does not ask do you want to upgrade, it doesn't give you a choice, it just does it.
I've rolled back to Windows 10, 3 times now and every time you click check for updates, Windows 11 installs. Yes I could not click that, but if I don't install some optional things, then things just do not work.

If other solutions do not work - then removing the Windows11 installer by a clean installation can help:

I advise you to open start and search for feedback and open Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
Try open Windows Update and click on Advanced options and uncheck "Received update for other Microsoft products when you update Windows".
