Turning this on will pause quality and feature updates for up to 35 days. Just below the settings above, you’ll see the option to pause updates. Remember, you still want to get security patches, so keep the quality update value at zero. Keep in mind that if you want to update sooner than the time you choose, you can go back in and change it. Typically, I choose 90 days, but you can go all the way up to a full 365 days.
On the following screen, under the “Choose when updates are installed” section, select the number of days you want to delay a feature update. To delay the feature update for up to a full year, head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click Advanced options. Here is how to hold off the update until you’re confident it’s stable and are ready to install it. Unless you change the settings, your Windows 10 system will get the update automatically.
