Default Yet Another Unasked-For Windows Update ?

This time it's the 7" Windows tablet I bought a couple weeks ago.

Definitely, 100%-surly, absolutely-for-certain had Windows Update turned
off... as in *OFF!* with a capital "F"....

Now, after a reboot, it's been sitting for over 3 hours with a prompt
"Keep your PC on until this is done. Installing update 1 of 1...."

I suspect it's the screen saver/sleep/hibernation setting that's a
problem... where every five or 10 minutes it kicks in and, in addition
to turning off the screen, it stops the processor.

I've got a "Good" image and a ShadowProtec boot stick... but I've never
tried re-imaging this thing and would prefer not to start now.

Anybody else been here?
