    Windows 10 Updates Are Ignoring the Pause Updates Feature


    Three times now when I have my computer set to Pause Updates, Windows 10 keeps bypassing it then sneaking in bad updates. What is the point of pausing updates if Windows 10 is going to keep ignoring my request. I am trying to finish a project uploading large files then the system crashes because Windows is sneaking in another update interrupting the process.


    Three times now Windows 10 keeps downloading and installing a bad update that makes my computer so slow it crashes or locks up. These forced updates need to stop and give control back to the users especially those of us who know what we're doing.


    I already purchased a Chromebook for online use since it doesn't use Windows. Next I plan to keep my PC offline so Windows will never update. We should not have to go to this extreme.

    :)

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
