Occasionally Win 10 downloads silently in background some security updates (on my v1903 system) and prepares them for installation on next reboot.

When I click on START Button (for shutdown or restart action) I can see an additional entry "Update and restart" with a red dot in the lower left corner of the START menu icon.

Is there a way to find out exactly which update is going to be installed on the next reboot?

Is there a way to prevent this pending installation at next reboot?
