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.
