True, but you run the risk of the hidden update getting unhidden if
automatic updates run. I have found that turning off the option to "get
recommended updates the same way as important updates" is helpful.

It is about as easy as it gets.

I will second the vote for using GWX Control Panel, whether as a
portable standalone program
<http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/GWX_control_panel.exe> or as in
installed program
<http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/GwxControlPanelSetup.exe>.
Here's the User Guide

I believe the installed version does ongoing active monitoring
whereas the standalone version will require you to re-run it every
time another GWX installation occurs through Windows Update.
The gentleman who created GWX Control Panel has been pretty assiduous,
and quite fast, at picking up the various Windows Update KB numbers
that need to be blocked to keep GWX [Get Windows X (Ten)] from
installing. It's not that the manual technique of uninstalling
various specific KB number updates doesn't work, but you have to keep
up on them and Microsoft keeps bundling GWX in different updates. In
addition, turning off automatic updates can be problematic in its own
right, and with GWX Control Panel you can avoid having to do that.
