Those all seem to involve using the Automatic Updates feature or going
through Windows Update by hand, which isn't what I want. I know you
can force an automatic updates regime via gpo, and I do, but that isn't
quite the same.

AU runs on a schedule, and unless the computer is on at the scheduled
time, the updates aren't installed, they are just downloaded and the
user has to install them by hand.

I want something that is more robust and user controllable like I have
with other Operating Systems
