    How do I turn off "Pause Updates for 7 Days'? I never want to pause updates !!!


    I have Windows 10 Home.

    Under Settings/ Updates & Security /Updates, It tells me updates are paused for 7 days.

    I go to 'Advanced Options' but cannot select anything but a date. There is no "Automatic" to select.


    I never want to pause updates !!!

    :)

  2. option: pause update windows update for 7 days'

    Since an update from windows 10 v. 1803 to 1909 I note the above option listed in update settings page. Why is a pause necessary? One moment the information on update status shows the updates are all installed yet another moment it shows that updates
    are on 'pause'. I did not add this option to updates. I am unsure how long the 'pause updates' option has been listed on the update settings page. Shall I leave it set at 7 days' pause or remove that option?

  3. option: pause update windows update for 7 days'

    Martmcd, Thank you for your very helpful reply. I shall use your last bit of advice to leave it along and it will go away. the only problem I see is there is nothing that allows me to remove or keep the pause choice. The options shown in the box begin
    with 7 days and only increase the number of days, not eliminate the pause. However, I shall simply ignore it, as you so wisely suggest. Thanks again.

    option: pause update windows update for 7 days'

    Thanks, Richard, for your reply. On this pc no Pause Updates slider appears in Advanced Settings, only a box of options with 1st: pause for 7 days, last pause til a much later date. I can only opt for a different time period but I do not want that 'Pause"
    option at all. When I click to continue with updates a message soon appears: (again) stating that all updates are current and completely installed. I shall simply ignore the 'pause' box as was suggested by another helpful reply. Thank you for sending your
    suggestions, they are greatly appreciated.
