SOLVED:

That Microsoft Windows Support thread suggested using this tool:
o Hide Windows Updates or driver updates
<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026726/windows-10-hide-updates-or-driver-updates>

1. Doubleclick on "wushowhide.diagcab"
2. Up pops a GUI asking:
   Select the updates that Windows will install automatically
   (but the list is empty)

   At the bottom is a link "Advanced" which when I hit allows:
   [_]Apply repairs automatically

   Which I checked.
   [x]Apply repairs automatically

3. Nothing else to do but to hit [Next].
   ...Detecting problems
   ...Searching for updates
   And then a GUI pops up with two buttons:
   a. Hide updates 
      (Windows will not install hidden updates)
   b. Show hidden updates 
      (Select updates that you want Windows Update to automatically install)

4. I hit "Show hidden updates" but that simply said:
   "You're all set, there aren't any hidden updates to show."
   [Next][Close]

5. starting over & trying again, this time I select "Hide updates".
   "There are no updates to Hide."
   [Next][Close]

6. Well, um, I'm not sure what happened, but let's check Windows Update:
   Win+I > Update and Security > Windows Update > [Retry]

Ooooooooooooh. Success!
