These two together should do it.

It applies but constantly gets enabled again. Has been a known issue with Home for years now. Better to just set WU to notify only - no auto download or install.

The way that I prevent quality updates from taking place during installation of Windows is by disabling the network before setup looks for the updates and then re-enabling the network before the user sees the desktop. To do this, I include these entries in the autounattend.xml answer file:

To disable the network:

XML: 
                <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>1</Order>
                    <Path>powershell.exe -Command &quot;Get-NetAdapter | ForEach-Object { Disable-NetAdapter -Name $_.Name -Confirm:$false }&quot;</Path>
                </RunSynchronousCommand>

Then, to re-enable networking:

XML: 
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>4</Order>
                    <CommandLine>powershell.exe -Command &quot;Get-NetAdapter | ForEach-Object { Enable-NetAdapter -Name $_.Name -Confirm:$false }&quot;</CommandLine>
                </SynchronousCommand>
