Halt updates for Windows 10 twice.
Halt updates for Windows 10 twice.
Hi everyone, I'm using Windows 10 version 1809. Recently, I stopped the Windows updates and planned to restart them on May 7, 2019, because I kept seeing a blue screen after installing important updates. Now I noticed the updates were installed without issues, but I need to restart again to confirm everything works. If something goes wrong, I might have to pause again, though I think I should install more updates first before doing that. I'm not sure if this is happening after 35 days or earlier, but I want to be safe. Can I pause the updates without forcing newer ones?
Avoid running your PC overnight to complete updates, then pause it easily.
Review your topic closely. I kept encountering the same blue screen issue while trying to install a quality update. It was released on April 2, 2019, and the screen appeared only during installation. After downloading, the update worked, but the installation step still triggered errors. Eventually, it installed properly once the PC booted normally. Check the System Configuration from my PC build.404 for details.
I understand your concern. You’d like to restart Windows 10 updates while avoiding forced installations and ensuring you can pause if needed. Yes, you can use the built-in update settings to manage updates more gently—look for options to pause or skip updates without proceeding fully. This approach works well before the 35-day period ends.
