With the release of Windows 10 2004 Update (May 2020 Build), Microsoft has made another controversial change that is going to affect many users. Now, you can no longer pause Windows 10 updates for more than 7 days — be it a feature or quality update. Earlier, you could defer feature updates for 365 days and 30 days for quality updates. And the worst part is that the new change is being rolled out to all editions of Windows 10. Having said that, if you are using Windows 10 Pro then you at least have the option to bring back pause update on Windows 10 for a much longer time. And in this article, we are going to show you exactly how you can do it. So without further ado, let’s get started.
While the changes are being made on the latest Windows 10 build, there are many users who have reported that “Pause Update” is missing from Windows Settings, irrespective of the 2004 build. So if you are one of those affected users then you can also follow this guide to bring back pause update on Windows 10.
- Under the Computer Configuration menu, click on Administrative Templates and navigate to Windows Components -> Windows Update -> Windows Update for Business.
