I tried the anniversary update. Tried it for a week straight after a clean install of Windows 10. My computer slows to a crawl with the update. So how do I AVOID having Windows update to the anniversary update? I would love to turn off automatic updates all together, but I haven't found out how without using a 3rd party solution. Thanks.
Found these under google not sure if they work though

Or......open the start menu, click on settings then update and security, then click on recovery. Where it says 'go back to an earlier build" click on get started.
EDIT: If you have the anniversary update already installed.
in the long term... ... you can't. unless you stay offline permanently 
Yes I can. There has to be a way to prevent that update from happening. My computer becomes unusable after that update, too slow.
Do you still have it installed? If you do then do as I suggested. It won't come back.
I did that, first time windows update ran, it reinstalled it.
You can't stop updates in Windows 10. Pro and up, you can defer, but not permanently.
