I can't change it. I get message :
"You need administrator privileges to pause updates" and I made clean install (of 26300.9457).

Locate the setting "Turn off Automatic Download and Install of updates" and select Enable.

You can enforce it manually by doing the following.

Open an elevated Command prompt

Enter gpupdate /force
