    System updated even though updates paused for 7 days


    I found my system had been rebooted due to a Definition Update, for Windows Defender Antivirus (which I do not even use!), despite the fact that I had updates paused until 1/14/20.

    So when is an "update not an update? How do I stop all updates?

    :)

    How to Reverse the 7 day pause

    Something's very broken there.

    There's conflicting information in your post #7 screenshots. The Windows Update page says updates are paused, but the advanced options page says Pause is turned off - they can't both be right!

    Try this tutorial: Reset Windows Update in Windows 10


    BTW: I've just restored my test machine's 1703 image to look closer at these settings. Seems that in 1703 it was 7 days for everyone, Insider or not. At least, I see 7 days in 1703, but 35 days when I restore the 1709 image, a system made by upgrading from that 1703 system a while back... odd....

    Oh, and the two pages are in agreement in my restored image. Both agreed that Pause was off, then I paused and they agreed that it was on. Turned off pause and they agree that updates are being checked for, and that I can't pause again until I'm up to date (the switch is now greyed out).

    Windows 7 Ultimate (64) Security updates not installing.

    I have been having problems in installing the updates that I have listed below. For each update I attempted to install them individually but they would not install. I also downloaded the SURT 6.1 KB947821 v27. The problem has been going on now for about 2 months. (whenever the issue with the updates comes to mind I am never near my pc). Thank you in advance.

    System updated even though updates paused for 7 days

    Pausing Updates in Windows 10 Pro version 1703 - Laptop 35 days and Desktop 7 days?

    I've noticed this as well. On my PC I paused updates immediately after getting the Creator's Update and it paused them for 35 days, but I just unpaused them to get the latest updates and now can only pause for 7 days, which sucks because I don't want to
    update my PC that often, despite Microsoft's insistence on forcing updates down our throats.
