Windows 10 Basics: How to pause updates - The Verge

Don't put it out until it's fixed.

Today Panzer found an interesting post over at The Verge site. While the post doesn't have anything to do with publishing, it does address one of Panzer's problems with Windows 10.

In previous versions of Windows you could have Windows ask you before it did an update or you could stop updates. Panzer couldn't find any option for either of these in Windows 10 until he found this post by Allya Chaudhry.

Turns out while there is no longer an option to have Windows ask first before an update or stop the updates, there is an option to pause update installs. Unfortunately, it's only for a week and then you need to go back in and pause it again, but at least you're spared those huge updates that won't let you turn off the computer or reduce you computer to crawl-speed or worst of all change your computer into a doorstop because there's something wrong with the update.

So, if you're interested in learning how to pause those pesky updates, tootle over to Windows 10 updates
