Windows 10: Feature update 20H2

I fully understand that my Windows is now out of date.I do not want it. It says "pending restart".What do I have to do to keep it from installing. Continue to move the scheduled restart date in perpetuity?I am not able to do highly technical things to stop this. I have seen posts that are very complicated.I am afraid that something will go wrong and wreck the system. As I said I do not want it and understand I will be out of date. I didn't put a similar feature some years back on my previous computer when it first came out and nothing dire happened. And advisers here have kindly informed me

:)

 

Update History is not showing v.20H2

Hi Dominic

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

This is normal behavior in Windows 10, typically when you install a Feature Update like 20h2, the update history is wiped, this is to prevent the user from trying to uninstall an update that was prior to the Feature Update, which would de-stabilize Windows
10, the list should start building again, when some updates are applied to version 20h2 . . .

 

20H2 update via update assistant not working for me

Hi Lamia,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

This is likely because you are using Windows 10 Pro for workstations. As you have the 2004 release, I suggest using the enablement package to download 20H2 which is smaller in size - see method 4 here:

Intel E5200 Gets Updated, R0 Stepping Coming Up

Intel's Pentium Dual-Core E5200 processor is getting on course for a specifications update. The chip will feature in a new, improved Wolfdale-2M core, spec'd out as the R0 stepping, from its current M0 stepping. The new stepping is intended to add new instructions, power-management features, and bring about changes in the chip-package. A short list of known changes is as follows:

• CPUID changed from 10677 to 1067A
• Power State Indicator (PSI) support with Intel 4 series chipsets
• New instructions - XSAVE and XRSTOR
• New S-spec and MM numbers
• New halide-free chip package

Due to the changed CPUID, users may require BIOS updates to detect the CPU. According to the company, E5200 R0 should be out by April 13.
