For those allergic to PowerShell (you can also 'net stop' instead of 'sc stop', but why?):

sc stop wuauserv

sc config wuauserv start= disabled

sc stop bits

sc config bits start= disabled

(note the space after the =, it matters)

Wrapping it all in a pair of batch scripts (or something fancier to toggle it) is a possibility.
