Windows 10 comes with regular security updates ( sometimes weekly ) and 2 major feature and security updates twice a year but the question I am asked is how do I delay – stop these updates.

If you open up the advanced options in Windows Update

Then look for ” Pause Updates” which means you can delay updates up to 35 days

If you are using your smartphone as a hotspot or are using a portable Wi-Fi solution you will want to make sure that ” Automatically download updates , even over a metered data connection” is off.

That means updates can only be downloaded over Wi-Fi and not use up the data from your smartphone or portable Wi-Fi solution.

Remember Windows Updates are your first line of defence in security on your computer.
