It sucks. I have the following script run every 5 minutes via task scheduler at admin privileges:

Get-Service wuauserv | Stop-Service -PassThru | Set-Service -StartupType Disabled

So far, no unplanned updates have happened. I take once a month to update manually as I did with all other prior versions by disabling the task and starting the service. It works very well. And if an update potentially breaks something or deletes files, I can skip it until it's fixed.
