How to stop windows 11 from trying to install problematic update automatically.
I'm subscribed to Windows Insider Program Beta. Since Feb, I have had issues trying to install the 'ge_release_upr' updates as I get a error after going through the install process only to get error page near the end. So I gave up and just ignored the update. Up to a week ago, windows stopped giving me an option to pick which update to install and now it just downloads every update automatically. Now I am stuck with windows forcing to restart to install which ends up in error. How do I stop windows from trying to install the ge_release_upr updates? I tried installing this troubleshoot show or hide tool. But it didn't stop from downloading the update. At the moment, I have paused all updates but I still want all of the other updates.

Start by turning on Suspend Updates in Settings > Windows Update > Advanced Options, or if you know how to program it, you can do this by pressing Win + R, typing gpedit.msc, and navigating to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Configure Automatic Updates, and setting it to Disabled.
