    How to schedule the exact time for Windows 10 to check for updates and installation


    The commonly provided answers to my question are irrelevant by advising to pause the updates, that's not what I am asking. I want to know if I can schedule the exact time slot of the day when windows 10 checks for updates and similarly an exact time slot when it installs the updates.My PC nearly comes to a halt when Windows 10 decides all of a sudden to check or install updates in the background. This is so frustrating & annoying. I have changed my active hours but no use.I have not found a straight answer and unfortunately the answers provided by MS experts are falling short.

    :)

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

    And, some info from the FAQ page:

    Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:

    New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
