Postponing updates in Windows 10 2004 is no longer so easy: Microsoft complicates the process "a little more" for confusion

Seeing Microsoft's update history with Windows 10 and the problems it has generated in many of the builds, it is not surprising that many users opted at the time for deferring the installation of an update . For security, to avoid failures or for whatever reason, the option to avoid an update for a while was there.

It was not an option that everyone could access, since only those with Windows 10 Pro had this function.The problem is that now, with the arrival of Windows 10 May 2020 Update, this possibility has disappeared or at least, it is not so easy to carry out. Let's see why.

Cannot postpone an update

Pausing updates is something we already saw at the time, explaining the process to carry it out. We could schedule when we wanted them to be downloaded,as well as when our computer would restart after installing an update.

"

However, there may be users who decide that they want to continue having this option, something that is no longer so simple and forces to configure this function within the Directives of Group in Windows 10 2004 Just enter Computer Configuration>"

"

Then, step by step, we have to reach the destination with the path Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when receiving preview builds and feature updates or Select when receiving quality updates."

This way we can pause updates for up to 35 days, the same period that Windows 10 Home customers had from the beginning.
