Microsoft has removed the ability to postpone updates to Windows 10 2004

Microsoft with the new version 2004 of Windows 10, removed the ability to postpone updates to pro versions of the operating system. But they still allow their formation through the political group.

From the 1703 edition of Windows 10, Microsoft has included a setting that allows users to defer the installation of feature updates for up to 365 days.

With the version 2004 of Windows 10, users of the operating pro noticed that there is no longer in the Settings the possibility with which they can pause all upcoming updates

Microsoft in its article "What's new in Windows 10, 2004 version for IT ProHe said the regulation was lifted to avoid confusion. Microsoft made this change because feature updates are only forcibly installed when Windows 10 are nearing their end and therefore adjustment is no longer necessary.

But for the Windows 10 Pro and other corporate releases, you can still postpone feature updates through the Policy Group.

You can open the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) and go to Computer Settings> Administration Templates> Components Windows > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business> Select the time to download preview versions and feature updates (Computer Configuration> Administrative Templates> Windows Components> Windows Update > Windows Update for Business> Select when Preview builds and Feature Updates are received) or Select when Quality Updates are received.

Unfortunately, the users of Windows 10 Home do not have access to the local group policy editor to make these changes.

Instead, they can configure the following values ​​under the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \Windows\ WindowsUpdate, (if WindowsUpdate does not exist).

1. There, right-click in the right pane and select Create> Dword (32-bit). Name the value DeferFeatureUpdates and set the value to 1
2. Press the OK button and right-click again in the right pane of WindowsUpdate and select Create> Dword (32-bit). Name the value BranchReadinessLevel and set the value to 2.
3. Press the OK button and right-click again in the right window of WindowsUpdate and select Create> Dword (32-bit). Name the value DeferFeatureUpdatesPeriodInDays and set the value of the days you want to decimal. For example 90.
4. Press the OK button and right-click again in the right pane of WindowsUpdate and select Create> String Value. Name it PauseFeatureUpdatesStartTime and do not set a value.

When using the above setting in the registry, it will postpone feature and quality updates for 90 days after their release.
