Do NOT try to cancel the upgrade. That will leave your computer in an unstable, possibly unbootable state.
Instead, allow the upgrade to complete. Then immediately go to Start menu > Settings > System > Recovery and 'Go back' to Windows 10.
Good Day IvanFilipović1,
My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 11 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.
If you accidentally click the updates and it is already installing I highly suggest for you to install it completely then use the Go back feature to go back to Windows 10 to prevent any corruption.
Here's the link to to go back as reference.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.
Sincerely,
Carlo T.
I accidentally clicked update to windows 11 and i cant find a cancel button, any help please?
I have a similar problem but the windows 11 status is still "downloading." So I paused updates to stop the download. However, when I resume updates, windows 11 immediately starts downloading again. Is there a way I can cancel the download or would it be best to let windows 11 download, install, then use the "Go Back to Windows 10" feature?
My mother-in-law clicked "allow" on the upgrade when prompted - unfortunately there was only allow or deny, no decide later option. Windows11 was installed but it slowed down the system to an almost inoperable speed. I restored Win10, but immediately the system starts downloading Win11 and installs it again. So I did the downgrade a second time.
This is extremely annoying. I tried several registry edits, from disallowing AU's to setting target builds, but the AutoUpdater continues to download Win11. I guess somewhere the WindowsOS saved the upgrade approval and is acting on it.
Does anybody know where that might be and how to rescind the approval to upgrade to win11?
Click on "Stay on Windows 10" then there won't be any Windows 11 update!
