I can't stand the incessant updates and reboots and the alerts that pop from the right saying all sorts of crud.

Well, all I can say to you is that I am pretty sure when you get a new car, you adjust the mirror. 'Course, maybe you don't, I don't know, maybe you whine about it not being set correctly too.
It is the same with a new OS, Operating System, it makes a best guess of how you want things. So if the automatic update annoys you, set it to only update at certain hours or manual. It is just about as fast as adjusting your mirror, and the bonus is the noise goes down too, unless you only whine online. This is the Christmas season, look for solutions, help others, and be happy. And it helps to RTFM or at least the tutorial that pops up when you first install, or go to YouTube, there are countless videos about how to set up Windows to various tastes.
Go forth and adjust.

I have it friggin’ set to manual. It autoupdated yesterday while freaking watching a movie with my wife to give me the Anniversary edition with its four or so reboots.

Go read the FM yourself and tell me TF why “Manual” lets this Fn happen.

Someone has stolen my old car; left a note it was obsolete; parked a newer version in the driveway; threw away all my paperwork that was on the dash of my old one; placed the mirrors out on the hood; gives me a light show when the engine starts and makes me guess how to put gas(?) in the little door in the fender!
