Until now only Windows 10 Professional users could stop updates while they were in progress in Windows Update, but that's about to change. Windows 10 Home users will soon be able to pause updates in progress for up to seven days.
This feature will be released for everyone in the next major update to Windows 10 that we know as 19H1. The upcoming big version will be released sometime in April 2019.
Paul Thurrott he remarked for the first time this change and it is something that Microsoft has not yet announced in the posts it has made on the Windows blog Insider.
Of course, there is a limit: You can only pause updates for seven days at a time. To do this, you just need to follow the path Settings - Update and Security - Windows Update.
There will be an option "Pause Updates for 7 days" or "Pause Updates for 7 days" in Windows 10 Home.
Windows 10 will not be able to install paused updates. However, when you continue updating (if the seven-day period expires or if you click the "Resume updates" button), Windows will check for updates and install them.
Of course the mode it won't help you avoid updates permanently, but for seven days at a time. You will then need to update your system.
However we do it though, it's a huge improvement because if you're on a trip or busy with something, you'll be able to update after a weekteam.
Windows 10 Professional users still have more control since they can pause updates for up to 35 days.
