    Update Pause

    Got it. But it is a bit confusing. At the top it said Check for Updates and when I clicked that it searched and found the Update but said something like can’t do it now because Pause is set and down further it said Resume Update
    . When I went to Settings Advanced I was offered a choice of a bunch of dates, but not a Cancel Pause.
    I think the message on the Update page would be clearer if the button said
    Remove (or Cancel) Pause. Resume Update suggests that you have canceled updates , not paused them .

    Permanent pausing of updates bug: Seems like this bug still exists -> https://i.imgur.com/YSBcX2h.mp4 I think I know how I triggered it, but I'm not going to say yet because loose lips sink ships. If updates resume in 35 days (May 7), then we'll know this is just a display bug and not an actual pause bug....
