[H] is there a way to stop creators update

[Winterlight]

I have a laptop that is incompatible with creators update. After 
install I can not download anything from the windows store. I can not 
update malwarebytes, I can not update Windows 10. Fortunately, I 
image my OS partition frequently so when Creators update now installs 
I can go back ....for a while. But it always reinstalls. The first 
time creators installed I went a couple of months before I even 
realized I wasn't getting updates. I had to go back to an old backup, 
reconfigure.. a huge hassle.

 A month ago I contacted MS support. I let them remote to my PC to 
fix the problem....the guy spent 30 minutes trying things before he 
gave up and announced my 2 year old Thinkpad was incompatible with 
creators update but there was " big patch" coming that would fix 
everything....yeah right.

Ever since i have been backing up nightly. But creators will 
eventually self install again... it won't let me put it off forever 
without precluding other updates. It installed this morning and  once 
again the same problem emerged. My test is to try to install 
something from windows store. It failed again with the same error 
message. So I re-imaged with last nights backup. I feel like I am in 
catch 22... caught in a loop I can't get out of. Anybody know a way 
to forever opt out of creators update?
