It's called the "Snipping Tool" and is a tool included from Windows 7 and above. It is generally faster for both taking screenshots and capturing specific portions of the screen.
I used local gp to have the OS notify me to download updates. It won't download until I hit the button. This setting persisted through my 1607 (Anniversary) update, which was done approximately a year ago.
With it set this way, the download is pending forever, until I initiate the download. Once they are downloaded though, you cannot circumvent installation of them.
If I see a pending update I don't like (weird KB update known to cause an issue), I wait a few days and then clear out the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder so that Windows update will re-gather the data. You can use this to wipe out downloads that have been procured and are currently pending install as well.
I haven't updated to Creator's Update (1703) yet, but I haven't seen anything to suggest this functionality has been removed. If anything, they may have reverted some of the local GP locks they placed on 1607. I may check 1703 in a VM just to verify this weekend.
Haven't updated it in a year. I prevented updates w/ group policy editor. I updated just prior the anniversary edition update, which AFAIK prevents that. This is just a Surface 3 Pro, not my main desktop. So I really don't care if it updates or not on its own. So I think I may go ahead and do an update.
