Can anyone tell me how I DON'T update the software on my z5?

I had an absolute nightmare with the last update and in my previous phone, also Sony decided to remove functionality to my AV receiver via software update so I don't want to go near anything to do with any update to a product in happy with, the problem is the phone pesters me incessantly to update, how do I get that to stop?

I believe you can force stop the software update application by long holding the update notification and going into its settings.
