Any reason you want to do this?

Control Panel Automatic Updates Choose an option more suited to your
needs. If you select Turn off Automatic Updates then you do need to
check manually for updates which will require you to turn Updates back
on temporarily.

Perhaps Notify me but don't automatically download or install them
is what you're looking for?

Default Windows Update

Start/Control Panel/Security Center/Automatic Updates
Check the "Turn off Automatic Updates" option
Click 'Apply'
Click 'OK' to exit.

What I do is to turn off 'Automatic Updates',
Then I manually update Windows by going the URL listed below.
Then choosing the 'Custom' option,

Windows will then begin a scan of your PC.
Next list the updates that are available for your PC will be displayed.
From the displayed list of updates I then remove the checkmarks
from any of the updates that I do not want installed.

Note: You will be asked to review the updates you have selected to
be installed before Windows starts the download and install process.

I do not "ever" download and install drivers from Microsoft, far too often
they cause more problems then they fix.
