Windows 10: How to extend MS updates delay to beyond 35 days.

After a messed up 20H2 update, and reverting back to 1909, I found a way to extend the updates delay to beyond the 35 days, I have mine set now to 8/29/2025 so that it never updates until that date, which means I can control what updates are installed and when. Right now, 20H2 is messed up, so now I wait for the next feature update, and still use 1909 even though it has reached the end of it's service, and by having an up to date firewall and antivirus (never rely on MS defender), I can still keep using 1909 until a more stable version is released. OK, here's how to extend it. PC Settings->Update & Security->Advanced options Then scroll a little till you get to the section 'Pause updates', then in the drop down, select the very last one, then click the 'Back' arrow at the very top left of the settings window, then click 'Advanced Option' again, then go to the 'Pause updates' section and the drop down should show more dates, select the very last one, and repeat from the 'Advanced Options' for as long as you like. As of writing this post, I can currently extend the delay to Mon, Nov 12, 2029

windows 10 PRO version 1903 how to pause update for 365 days

One of my machine updated to version 1903 and the delayed updates are limited to 35 days not 365. I spent more than 3 hours with MS (various phone calls-remotes) they said they could not fix it to make to be able to elect anything past 35 days.

UNTIL THEY FIX VERSION 1903 SO I WILL WORK TO DELAY FEATURE UPDATE FOR I SIMPLY CANNOT USE VERSION 1903. THAT SI WHY VERSION 1903 IS A DOWNGRADE NOT UPGRADE - MS NEEDS TO FIX IT SO WORKS CORRECTLY

Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:

• New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
• Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
• Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
• K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
• Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support

The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.
