    Windows 10 version 1909ย  (build 18363.836)

    I use “Windows Update Blocker” to disable Windows update AND I pause all updates. Currenly my pause period ends 6/25 & updates will resume on that day.ย  What I want to do is to extend the pause period into July or at least until the DEFCON rating is up to 4 or so.

    How do I reset the pause period so that updates can be paused past 6/25 to sometime in July? Currently on the Windows Update page, the “Pause updates for 7 days” is greyed out. Do I wait until 6/25 and then again click on “Pause updates…” on the Windows Update page? Is there something else I should do?

    Or should I do the following on 6/25: (1) ensure disconnected from Internet; (2) Run Windows Update Blocker to ensure Windows Update process is disabled; (3) on Windows Update page, pause for another NN days??

    Thank you.

        you did not state what edition of Win10 v1909 you are using in your 1st post, edsel1924?
        Win10 Home or Win10 Pro

        type winver.exe in the Run dialog box to gather Win10 version and edition

            You’re not paying attention:

            type winver.exe in the Run dialog box to gather Win10 version and edition

              With all due respect, see my original post where I DID list the Win 10 version from “winver”.ย  I did forget to say Win 10 home.

              We all need to be careful when we post, right?

              One of the really good things about this site, is that we can get feedback from each other… and there is nothing like those that step up and try to help others. Thank you for that!
