Professional, corporate and educational versions Windows 10 provides more control over Windows Update than home version... If you have one of these editions, starting with the Creators Update you can pause receiving updates and postpone some updates.

How to pause Windows 10 updates

Windows can pause updates for 35 days. After this Windows term 10 will automatically unpause, find updates, and install them. Windows will need to install the latest updates before you can pause updates again.

To pause updates, open Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update → Extra options". Scroll down and turn on the Pause Updates option.

Please note that you will only see this option if you are using Windows 10 Professional, Enterprise or Education, and only if you have already installed Creators update Update. Pause updates is not available for Windows 10 Home.

How to cancel updates if you've installed Creators

From version Creators Update Windows allows you to snooze different types updates using the "Options" interface. This allows postpone receiving updates until they are more widely tested. This parameter has become available in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update which was released in mid-2016, but you needed to run the local editor group policies to use it.

Microsoft breaks down Windows updates into three broad categories:

• Security updates Eliminate major vulnerabilities. You cannot postpone security updates.
• Feature Updates include new features and significant updates to existing features. You can defer feature updates for 365 days.
• Quality updates are more like traditional operating system updates and include minor security fixes, driver updates. You can postpone quality updates for up to 30 days.

To defer updates by one of the categories, go to Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update → Advanced Options. Scroll down and use the options under "Choose when to install updates" to specify how many days you want to defer updates. Set these parameters to "0" to disable deferred updates.

This page also allows you to determine the readiness level of the updates to be downloaded. Standard Option means that you will receive updates when they are available for the majority of users' computers. If you upgrade to the Semi-Annual Channel, you will receive updates only after they have been more thoroughly tested and Microsoft believes they are ready to be deployed to Enterprise. This often happens four months after the release of updates to private users.

Again, you'll only see this option if you're using Windows 10 Professional, Enterprise, or Education, and only if you've installed the Creators update. These options are not available in Windows 10 Home.

Windows Update in Windows 10 also automatically updates hardware drivers. You can prevent Windows 10 from updating hardware drivers. Unlike the above options for deferring updates, stopping device drivers from updating also works in Windows 10 Home Edition.

New Windows updates are thoroughly tested by thousands of beta testers and are mostly stable. However, there are also not very successful releases that cause serious malfunctions on some PCs. Prohibiting their installation is quite problematic, since the update is often installed in background and the user cannot protect himself from installing the update when the computer starts up.

But we can fix the situation by removing the bad patch and temporarily preventing the installation of new ones.

Windows 10: problematic update

If you have not disabled automatic updates Windows, then be sure to get the new update on your computer. We will tell you what symptoms may occur after installation failed update and with what they are connected.

• The most common problem is a blue screen with a boot error: the system no longer recognizes the drive and therefore cannot boot.
• Even while working on the computer, an error of the so-called "inaccessible boot device". This is because the fixes were released shortly after the update to provide more stability and close security holes. If the computer tries to install both at the same time, a blue screen appears.
• Many users also have problems with OneDrive: there is no menu item to enable files on demand. The solution is trivial: reinstall OneDrive by downloading it from the Microsoft Store.

How to fix the problem with updates in Windows 10

Fortunately, it is now possible to avoid the appearance of the "blue screen of death" after installing the update:

Blue screen after Windows update: what to do next

At the command line, call the list of installed packages:
dism / image: C: \ / get-packages

Now you can immediately see if it was installed successfully. Remove uninstalled packages with the following command:

• MKDIR C: \ temp \ packages
• dism / image: c: \ / remove-package / packagename: PAKETNAME
• / scratchdir: c: \ temp \ packages

For PACKAG_NAME, enter the name of the package to be removed. After removing all uninstalled packages, you must restart your computer.

How to safely update Windows

• You must turn off automatic Windows updates on your computer. Instead, enable the option to send alerts when a new update is available.
• Install the update only after you create a full backup of your data. This ensures that you do not lose data in the event of a fatal error.
• Before updating, check out the CHIP news to see if there are any issues with the next Windows update. For example, before Microsoft released a second update a few weeks after the next update to fix issues.

   If you find a duplicate entry, delete it using the context menu

System rollback

You can return the system to the state it was before the errors with updates occurred using a restore point, backup system (which is stored in the image file), as well as through a reset to initial settings... Consider a point recovery. Before using any important changes in the system, for example, by installing updates, the "operating system" automatically creates a restore point, so in most cases there are several points on the disk.
