We use the following GPO to remove the Check online for updates from Microsoft Update option:
Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Internet 

    Communication Management/Internet Communication settings 
    Turn off access to all Windows Update features = Enabled 
    
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2253101-stop-windows-update-through-microsoft-but-allow-from-sccm

**Also disable "Configure Automatic Updates"**  

    Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Updates/Configure Automatic Updates

Look at:\\ 

**Summary of Windows Update settings** 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-wu-settings  

Some discussion here:
    Configure Automatic Updates - Disable
    
    Do Not Connect to any Windows Update Internet Locations - Disable (Is currently enabled, don't know why - there's no existing GPO for this set and it's stopping store from working).
    Turn off access to all windows update features - Enable
