    Does update pause affect the virus updates, and which pause to use?


    Because of COVID-2004, I must pause updates. Does this also pause the virus updates? Or, is there a pick and choose possibility? Also, the choices of pause are presented a typical Microsoft fashion.
    * There is a one click 7 day pause.

    Then there are three more choices are available in the Advanced window.
    * There is a Max 35 day pause
    * There are Feature and Quality updates, with up to a 365 day delay?
    While the words "Feature" and "Quality" are proper English words, in Microsoft's context, it's unknown which includes the virus updates.

    :)

    Update Pause

    Got it. But it is a bit confusing. At the top it said Check for Updates and when I clicked that it searched and found the Update but said something like can’t do it now because Pause is set and down further it said Resume Update
    . When I went to Settings Advanced I was offered a choice of a bunch of dates, but not a Cancel Pause.
    I think the message on the Update page would be clearer if the button said
    Remove (or Cancel) Pause. Resume Update suggests that you have canceled updates , not paused them .
