I am prompted to update Win 10. I start the process, it gets to 7%, fails, tells me that it has failed and is restoring Win 10 to where it was. Then, I am bugged again to update. The PC is running fine but eventually I am forced to go through this update that fails. How do I get it to stop bugging me and leave me alone?

Have you tried resetting the update components?
Open cmd prompt/Powershell/Terminal with admin & enter:
Code:
Net Stop bits
Net Stop wuauserv
Net Stop appidsvc
Net Stop cryptsvc
Ren %Systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore DataStore.bak
Ren %Systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download Download.bak
Ren %Systemroot%\System32\catroot2 catroot2.bak
Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat"
Net Start bits
Net Start wuauserv
Net Start appidsvc
Net Start cryptsvc
Restart the PC & try updating again.

And/or:
Search for services.msc & find Windows Update & ensure it is set to Automatic.
