    unpause updates

    I want to unpause windows updates, but the system will not let me. The best I can do is to set the date to tomorrow

    Pause updates unpaused itself

    Running the latest Creator's Update and my paused updates just unpaused themselves.

    The PITA factor with this OS's updating just continues to grow. Anyone else have their paused updates 'unpaused' by this monstrosity of frustration?

    PS I paused from advanced settings under Windows Update Settings and it should have had more than month of limit before I 'had' to unpause. And I never turned off or restarted my machine.

    How to unpause updates

    Windows 10 home 1903 does not have an "unpause" update button

    Out of curiosity, I clicked "pause updates" after upgrading to v1903. Now I see I don't have an "unpause updates" button on this computer like i do on my other computer. I set the date to resume updates to July 8, now this morning I see it was advanced
    to July 9. It's telling me updates are available, but I guess I can't get them unless I can unpause. Any suggestions?
