How to prevent Windows Update from re-enabling firewall rules?

Regularly some Windows Update packages silently re-enable firewall rules, both Inbound and Outbound, is there a way to disable a rule for good or to remove from Windows Update the right to alter firewall rules?


(deleting rules does no good, Windows Update will recreate them)


Exemple of "frivolous" rules that keep re-enabling themselves: Windows Reading List, MSN Sports, Solitaire Collection, Get Office etc.


This is for a Windows 10 machine on a semi-public network, and AllJoyn, cast servers or various XBox ports are never ever going to be anything but security liabilities.
