To date, only Windows 10 Professional users have been able to stop the updates while in Windows Update, but this is about to change. Windows 10 Home users will soon be able to stop the updates while they are in progress for up to seven days.
This feature will roll out to everyone in the next major Windows 10 update that we know is codenamed 19H1. The next big one version will be released sometime in April 2019.
Paul Thurrott he remarked for the first time this change and it is something that the Microsoft he hasn't announced yet in his posts on the Windows Insider blog.
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 one choice “Pause Updates for 7 days” or “Pause Updates for 7 days” and 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.
But as we do, it is a huge improvement because if you are on a journey or busy with something, you will be able to update it after a week.
Windows 10 Professional users still have more control since they can pause updates for up to 35 days.
