Windows 10: Checking the updates to install

Hi

In Windows 10 v1703, it is possible to block some Windows Update and Microsoft Store updates so that I can check the updates to install?

Thanks

Bye

Cannot install windows 10 checking for updates message

After upgrading to Windows 10, you cannot use your Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key.

Click Do this Later.





Verify if you have the November Update installed:

How to verify if
you downloaded or installed the Windows 10 November Update

If you do, then all you need to do is change the product key using your Windows 7 or 8 product key:

Click Start > Settings > Update & security
> Activation > Change the product key then enter the new product key then click
Next to Activate





If you are unable to activate Windows 10 after all the above and you are certain you have the correct edition installed, then please attempt phone activation:

But you should seriously consider why you want to do this.
Note that some updates will be delivered even if on a metered (wifi or ethernet) connection.


There is a thread per update with download links in the News section.

 

Perhaps, you did not understand: I would like to block only some categories of updates, or single updates.

So, how can I do this?

Thanks

Bye

 

Your question did not mention categories.

The only distinctions I'm aware of are
- upgrades
In the Creator's build, considering connections blocked by being 'metered'
- MS will or may deliver what they regard as important notwithstanding that.

You can set updates to 'Notify only' - that becomes your choice as to whether download them or not.
Option 1, 6 in 2nd tutorial. Did you read that?

Or see Winaero's free tweaker with full explanation.

I understand the behaviour may differ in this between the Anniversary and the Creator's build.
