How to stop this Windows update?

I need to stop this KB5067036 preview. Don't want it!!
Tried the Group policy OOBE tweak - changing it to to "2" for notify before downloading updates. Doesn't work. Deprecated now?
Checked the Windows \WinsXs folder for pending XML's. None.
Set wifi to metered connection. Well, that stopped the other 2 downloads anyway!
Want to ditch JUST this KB, not wipe the entire update history, so don't suggest that.

    Microsoft removed the UI option, but the wushowhide tool still works.

    Download the Microsoft tool:

    Run it → Click Next

    Choose Hide Updates

    Select KB5067036

    Finish and reboot.

    This prevents Windows Update from offering that single update again.
