Everything is the same again: no possibility to reset feature updates. So back to 365 again.įourth test run: Desktop updated with DVD. To my surprise, here I find the setting to pause feature updates in the advanced options, but set to 0 (we remember: all computers had previously set 365).

Third test run, Microsoft Surface Pro 4, updated with DVD. But still doesn't let an entry appear in the settings. Only quality updates can be postponed by 35 days. This computer now also has *no* entry in the extended options to block feature updates.

Second test run, desktop PC directly updated with DVD. This laptop has *no* entry in the advanced options to defer feature updates. When it was finished, I updated the DVD to 1903. This time he downloaded and installed the 1809, the version I wanted to skip. Now that I have brought a total of four computers to 1903, I notice the following:Īll computers have been upgraded with the same DVD created with MediaCreationTool, so different installation sources are ruled out.Īll computers were previously set back to Windows 64bit, feature upgrades by 365 days.įirst test run with laptop, automatic update search didn't bring any 1903, so delay from 365 set to 0 and searched again. A first feedback was (thanks again to the reader): But at heise readers were willing and took the time for testing. Confusing test resultsĭue to lack of time I could test little and my test system has exactly the options shown above (separate options to delay updates are not available). An adjustment of the group policies didn't change anything in my GUI display. The above screenshot shows the policies (in German) in this branch, and the options are also available there as usual. Of course I can use the group policies with gpedit.msc under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business to force an update control. There were also people who claimed that they had the option … Group policies for update control
From this point of view, the omission of the GUI elements under Settings … Windows Update seems logical.īut for professionals it's pretty stupid and I was wrong – more about that later. And we have an option to delay (quality) updates for 5 x 7 days, which is the 35 day defer option. Rather, the user must click on the 'Download and install' link to initiate the upgrade. Within the GUI, Microsoft has removed the old setting options, because features updates are no more getting automatically installed from Windows 10, version 1903 upward, until the end of the support period is reached. My first interpretation, also based on Microsoft's article about update control (see Windows Update brings back Update control) was: Some users wrote, that they are having this option, others (and me) couldn't see this option. A user complained about missing options to pause feature and quality updates in Windows 10, version 1903. Friday I came across of comments to an articles I've written for German IT magazine heise. Since that was still a preview in March 2019, I put it on 'hold and see'. And Martin Brinkmann had written something about it at at that time. Within the forum at there was this discussion thread.
The topic has been around here since March 2019, because I came across the following discussion between Woody Leonhard and Tero Alhonen on Twitter. Martin Brinkman has discussed it also here for an older Windows 10 build – and I mentioned it within my German blog post Erweiterte Update-Steuerung in Windows 10 Version 1703. I'm talking about the two list boxes to defer Feature and Quality updates for 365 and 35 days. (Advanced update options Semi-Annual-Channel)
