    Defer feature update


    Hi. My PC has an issue with 21H2 build of Windows, when it's installed my whole PC stutters, even when it's not under a heavy load. I can be watching a youtube video or browsing a webpage and it's as if my PC is skipping whole frames.I've installed the latest updates for all software and hardware on 21H2.I've uninstalled and re-installed the GPU drivers.I've taken my PC apart, cleaned every component with compressed air and made sure my airflow in the case is fine.Temperature is not an issue.The only fix seems to be reverting back to the previous build of Windows and I face no stuttering issue

    :)

    Defer Feature Updates Blanked out After Recent Update?

    Apparently, "defer" does not refer to postponing updates to a more convenient time. Microsoft's explanation:


    • "Some Windows 10 editions let you defer upgrades to your PC. When you defer upgrades, new Windows features won’t be downloaded or installed for several months. Deferring upgrades doesn't affect security updates. Note that deferring upgrades will prevent you from getting the latest Windows features as soon as they’re available."
    I had it turned on and wondered why no update had been done for over a month. It finally happened in mid afternoon when I stepped away for a break, and l had to wait quite a while to get back to work.

    The best you can do is set Active Hours, which will postpone updates until a better time of day. Active Hours is a maximum of 12 hours. I've set mine to 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Sleep mode won't stop it. But I don't think MS has a way to turn on your computer.

    What's the current suggested length of time to defer updates on Windows 10 Pro --

    -- feature updates?

    -- quality updates?
