Postpone the installation of updates to a later date

Wouldn't it be nice if you could decide for yourself when the Windows 10 updates should be installed? With the new Windows version, it is now possible to pause the upcoming updates and postpone the installation to a later date. We will show you how this works in this guide.

Postpone updates installation to a later date

Microsoft regularly provides new updates for the Windows 10 operating system . The update closes security gaps and adds new functions.

In the past there was a lot of discussion about Microsoft's update procedure. So the users were practically forced to install the update as soon as it was available,

It can happen when you wanted to turn off your computer and the only option was to install the update and then shut down the computer. This process took a long time because large data packages are downloaded and installed.

With the current version, specifically with the number 1903 , Microsoft gives the user more control over the update process. Windows 10 users can block the monthly updates for seven days each and postpone the installation to a later date. Windows users can now pause the update up to five times and update Windows after 35 days at the latest.

Has the latest update been installed?

In order to use the deferral of updates , it is necessary to have the May update installed on your computer. Here's how to check if version number 1903 is present:

Start the Windows system settings by clicking on Start and then on Settings or press the key combination Windows +I .
In the opened window click About .
Here you can see which version you have installed .

 

Postpone updates

If you have version 1903 installed , open Settings and click on the Update and Security menu.
Click Windows Update in the submenu.
Now you can click on the update pause for 7 days option in the right window.

Postpone the installation of updates to a later date

If you want a different date, click Advanced options and scroll down to the Pause updates section .

Here you can use the drop-down menu to select any date when the update should be installed.

Conclusion

Finally Microsoft has reacted and changed the update policy. It was always very annoying to wait for updates to be installed. The worst was whenever you had to work on computers. So the updates were always installed at the right time. There were times when Microsoft practically forced Windows 10 users to install the update. Now that's all over and with the new version you can decide for yourself when the update should be installed.
We always recommend installing the latest Windows 10 update as soon as possible.
The current patch fixes important security and functionality issues.
