Is it possible to permanently delete windows 10 update assistant?

Sometimes I get a message saying 'Updates were installed. Select this message to learn more.' I select the message in question and get another message saying 'No updates have been installed yet.'! Great! It is like a joke

Exactly!!  That's another thing that irritates me so much about these forced updates--the multitude of tech issues with almost every single update makes me wonder if Microsoft is even testing these updates at all before they force them on us. It comes across like Microsoft is using us as their captive group of testers, against our wills and without compensation. At the very least it is extremely immoral and unethical, and it may also be another Civil Rights Violation.  Add to this the facts that the average computer user doesn't know how to fix these issues and many of them end up having to pay yet another entity to fix what Microsoft messed up.  This makes Microsoft's actions all the more immoral and unethical, and increases the probability that their actions are Civil Rights Violations.  I truly am NOT a conspiracy theorist--I generally despise wild speculation and conspiracy theories.  But, these points really cause me to wonder if there are any "under the table" dealings between Microsoft and the 3rd party tech support entities with possible bonus kickbacks to Microsoft from the tech support entities if Microsoft keeps tech issues in the OS and updates.

I and others, have been fiddling with this Operating System for about a year now! Feedback hubs, assistants, what have you! Have we not got anything better to do?

I have done the same, my windows is probably messed up for good, so much has be deleted and changed that I can never remember how to put it all back together, probably have to do a complete re-install at some stage.

Also having this issue.

Whenever I try to install the updates that the Microsoft Windows 10 Update Assistant is trying to install, it freezes my computer at 82%. So I've tried contacting microsoft support 3 different times. Each time they do the same thing, and uninstall the assistant, turn off updates services. But of course the assistant comes back and tries to download updates again which will freeze my computer. (I then have to turn off the computer, and restart it, it has to restore windows, and this takes up an hour of my time each morning to simply turn on my computer. The support people at Microsoft said that I can't install that update due to "incompatible drivers" but said they had no idea which drivers were causing the issue.

said they had no idea which drivers were causing the issue. 

They would have to look at your logs and know what to expect to see in them.   But it's not that difficult to use them to find useful clues that way.  Start with ReportingEvents.log and WindowsUpdate.log (after using PowerShell Get-WindowsUpdateLog).
