    Windows Update delay options are missing in my Windows 10 Pro laptop


    I upgraded my system from Home to Pro edition. I then had the option to delay feature updates and security updates. I did install 1903 in July and just noticed that my delay updates function is now missing. I only have the option to delay for 35 days. It's like Microsoft thinks I still have the Home version.

    How do I fix this?

    :)

    AFAIK Microsoft have not yet officially acknowledged this bug, so I'm not surprised that their support is unaware of it. It is however an entirely reproducible effect and can easily be fixed by using Regedit to set 'DeferFeatureUpdatesPeriodInDays' or 'DeferQualityUpdatesPeriodInDays' back to zero, then clicking 'Check for updates'.

    Open Regedit, in the address bar at the top type Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings and press the Enter key.

    If the value for 'DeferFeatureUpdatesPeriodInDays' or 'DeferQualityUpdatesPeriodInDays' is anything other than 0, right-click on it and select Modify. Enter the value 0 then click OK.

    You can then close Regedit. Go to Update & Security - Windows Update in Settings and click 'Check for updates'. The defer options will then reappear in Advanced settings.

    The bug is only that these settings disappear in Settings when you set them to anything above 0 days. They still seem to be effective in deferring updates, even if you cannot see them.

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    I had the message on my built systems and the laptops.

    Windows Update delay options are missing in my Windows 10 Pro laptop

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    I can't get update KB3035583 on my windows 7 SP1 laptop, also I was missing the optional language packs updates, I have tried "resetting" windows updates Windows Update - Reset - Windows 7 Help Forums and I have tried stopping and restarting the windows update service, did not help.
    Would anyone have a suggestion on how to get this KB3035583 update? It's genuine windows 7 SP1 home premium.

    Edit: Is this windows 10 upgrade only for people who bought (a computer with) windows 7 SP 1?
    I bought this laptop with windows 7.
