Microsoft, for some reason, decided to give us fewer options to manage Windows updates. While there isn’t an easy-peasy checkbox to hide an update anymore, you can hide Windows updates using this batch script in Windows.

Batch:
@Echo off & Cls

(Net session >nul 2>&1)||(PowerShell start """%~0""" -verb RunAs & Exit /B)
