You cannot pause Windows 10 updates without some advanced hacks. Using the Windows settings only stops them until Microsoft have an update that they think is important. Even the method I've given isn't foolproof because Windows sometimes enables the update service without your permission. I think the only secure method would be to have a scheduled command to disable the update service on every boot or perhaps run it periodically.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 2:37 amCan not knowing how to pause updates so you can apply them sensibly and have basic control over your business ops be a crime too?
I can't believe the same people who can't find Windows settings are all going to be driving round in Ego Musk's self-driving cars soon.
Don't forget, when Windows 10 first hit the market Microsoft asked the user what 12 hour period they "normally" use the computer. Then there was an instruction not to switch off your/their computer so they can use it for the remaining 12 hours!
This message appears on my Win10 Pro laptop where I've used group policies to stop updates but not on the home edition laptop which doesn't have a policy editor. Either way, you cannot trust Microsoft.
It's the little things
