Edit your system settings (if you haven’t already) on windows from automatic update to manual update.

If they did update already, then you can’t stop the process mid way, but if you change to manual update & restart your computer, you shouldn’t have any downloaded to your desktop…though, for security reasons, it’s a really good idea to at least make sure you install any security fixes from microsoft as soon as they’re available.
