What to do when a Windows Update (KB4480970) breaks your computer?
KB4480970 got installed on my system last night and now I'm no longer able to access files via SMB shares. Apparently this is a known issue.
I restored my system to a previous restore point and the issue appears to be resolved, but in general what should I do in these situations? Will my system try to reinstall KB4480970 tonight? Do I just need to disable automatic updates? If so then should I disable them until perpetuity? If not then how do I know when I can turn them back on?

Will my system try to reinstall KB4480970 tonight?
This entirely depends on your system configuration. Windows 7 allows you to select which updates will be installed. You will want to avoid installing KB4480960 and KB4480970 until a patch which resolves the known issues with those updates is released.
Do I just need to disable automatic updates?
You should configure your system and install patches manually until the issue is resolved.
If so then should I disable them until perpetuity?
You should absolutely not disable Windows Update in perpetuity.
how do I know when I can turn them back on?
Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 update history has every recent patch released for Windows 7, you should watch this website, until an update that specifically mentions this known issue is resolved.
Known issues in this update
Symptom - Local users who are part of the local “Administrators“ group may not be able to remotely access shares on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 machines after installing the January 8th, 2019 security updates. This does not affect domain accounts in the local "Administrators" group.
Workaround - This issue is resolved in KB4487345.
KB4487345 is a stand-alone package which can be downloaded on the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
