To cancel your Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription, go to your Microsoft Account Dashboard, navigate to Services & subscriptions, find your ESU plan, and select Manage to cancel recurring billing. Afterward, unlink the Windows 10 device via your devices menu.

Marcin, That only works if you have bought the ESU enrollment. If a computer is enrolled in the Consumer ESU program through backing up settings into OneDrive, there is no charge for ESU and it does NOT appear in Services and Subscriptions.

So, how does one un-enroll a computer from the Extended Security Updates?

I have a system that needs to STOP getting the updates but once a machine is enrolled, there is no way i can find to unenroll it. Even switching to a Local Account does not change it once enrolled. The machine remains in the ESU program
