intentionally block a pc from receiving windows updates

We are using wsus on our pc's. However, we have one pc that must not be allowed to update, as we use it to connect to some archaic systems, and the newer security settings play havoc with the systems we connect to. Asking the outfits at the other end to update their systems has been fruitless, and we can't us another outfit for this. WSUS is managed via group policy, and I need this one pc to NEVER get windows updates or java updates, while keeping it as a member of our domain.

Any ideas?

If its Windows 7 I use GWX Control Panel. Check it out and let me know if it does what you need.

Will that stop the windows 7 security updates as well, or just the "get windows 10" stuff? That's what's been burying us so far. Things will be rocking along just fine, and then MS sends out internet explorer security updates that then block access to the old version of java that we HAVE to use to connect to the remote system.

yes it should stop all updates. See screenshot.
