I've been searching the web and all I can come up with is workarounds or disabling the update service completely. You used to be able to choose download but don't install or let me decide. I don't like updates before I have a chance to read up on possible bugs. I have a few friends who have issues with recent updates. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Unfortunately, the automatic update can not be disable in Win 10 now. – Peter.G Oct 05 '18 at 03:29

You can't turn them off, that's the feature of Windows 10 to be up to date. But there are some ways how to slow them down because of possible bugs:
Open Windows 10's Settings app and select Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced Options and scroll down to "Choose when updates are installed." Click the drop-down and change it from Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) to Semi-Annual Channel.
Keep in mind that this options also differs from the version of Windows (Home / Pro / Enterprise / Educational).

The question specifically states Windows 10 Home, and the approach you quoted doesn't work there, as there is no "Choose when updates are installed" option. – Mitch Feb 06 '20 at 15:47
