How do I pause Windows Updates?
Windows 10 automatically downloads and installs updates as soon as they become available.
To stop this, you can do “pause” the installation of updates for up to 35 days.
1. Open “Settings -> Update and Security -> Windows Update”.
2. Click “Stop updates for 7 days”.
3. Click this button again to increase the period.
When you click until 35 days, the option will turn gray – this is the maximum value.
