Why does Windows 11 not take "Remind me Tomorrow" as an answer?

I don't want to install the new "Cumulative update", but Windows 11 keeps pushing me to do it. I want to save storage and optimize my PC, and I don't want to install this. So imagine my surprise after countless days of pressing the "Remind me Tomorrow" button that when I press it, after like a few seconds, the popup will appear again, asking me to pick a time or Update now. I found a way to delay it by a few days, by canceling the pick a time option, but that still keeps it up. I want it to begone.

    Hi, My name is Estrella, and I'm a Microsoft user like you. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. I'll be more than happy to help.

    It is recommended to install cumulative updates as they include important security patches and performance improvements. However, I understand that you want to save storage and optimize your PC by not installing this update. In this case, I suggest using the 'show or hide' tool to hide the update.

    You can download and install the tool here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/2/F2...

    Run the troubleshooter. Choose to hide the specific update so Windows will not install it again.

    Click Advanced > Check the Apply repairs automatically box, and hit on Next > Hide Updates.

    Note: If you encounter a warning message while downloading the file, select 'Keep.'
