[German<\/a>]Exciting story: It seems possible to pause Updates in Windows 10 Version 1903 and 1909 for more than 35 days. This works for the Home version, but also for the Pro version.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pausing Updates in Windows 10 V1903 and above<\/h2>\n

\"\"Starting with Windows 10 May 2019 Update, Version 1903, Microsoft grants its users the option of deferring quality updates by 5 x 7 days (35 days) in both the Home and Pro versions. <\/p>\n

\"Update
(Update options in Windows 10 V1903)<\/p>\n

Just click on the settings Windows Update<\/em> page on the entry Pause update for 7 days.<\/em> Click on Advanced options<\/em> on the same page to go to the next page with the same name. On the Advanced options <\/em>page, users are then offered the settings shown below.  <\/p>\n

I've discussed this briefly within my German blog post Windows 10 Home bekommt wohl ab V1903 Update-Pause<\/a>. But once the maximum interval of 35 days is reached, you can't extend the period, can you? <\/p>\n

\n

In Windows 10 Pro there is the possibility to use Group Policy with gpedit.msc under Computer Configuration\/Administrative Templates\/Windows Components\/Windows Update\/Windows Update to control updates. Allows you to defer quality and feature updates up to 35 or 365 days. I've discussed things within the blog post Windows 10 V1903: The 'broken' defer update options<\/a>. I think that Microsoft has patched something there in the meantime, but I haven't followed it in detail anymore.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tip: Reset the update delay interval<\/h2>\n

Once a user has activated the update pause, he will notice at the end of the pause interval, that this period cannot be extended. You can't get beyond the 35 days – because Microsoft has built in a lock. <\/p>\n

We have an anonymous post that seems to include a method for exceeding the 35-day \"Pause updates\" limit for Win10 1903 and 1909. Clever trick. Can you confirm? https:\/\/t.co\/W8muoGsKEZ<\/a><\/p>\n
