For anyone who uses Microsoft Windows for any length of time, they know that the operating system sometimes get a lot of updates. Sometimes they come at critical times when you’re trying to get work done or they come overnight and then you may get a surprise the next day.
Thankfully, Microsoft has given us some options to stop these updates from happening unless WE request them.
If you wish to keep updates enabled BUT get a warning to a pending update, go to:
- Settings > Windows Update > Advanced Options.
- Look for “Notify me when a restart is required” and click it ON.
- That’s it.
While that’s only one way, it’ll help you in knowing when to save your work and let Windows update.
But that’s only one way.
To totally disable updates for a set amount of weeks.
- Go to Windows Update.
- Find “Pause Updates”.
- Select the number of weeks you do not want to receive any updates.
- That’s it.
If you use Windows in a business environment, check with your System’s Administrator before changing any settings.
