Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them
You see, that's exactly what I did. And now there's a permanent flag sitting at the bottom of my screen telling me I need to fix an issue with my update settings. I hope that means, 'hey do your updates now', because I'm still at the stage where when I do some updates there are instantly more. It literally has never gone away yet.
Sadly, yes, Apple won't allow you to install iTunes without QuickTime, they come as an inseparable bundle. It didn't used to be that way - I actually stopped using iTunes for several years when they bolted it to QT, and only gritted my teeth and installed it again when I was given an iPhone.
