Hello

I got a new PC a month ago and unfortunately it has Windows 11.
I have the updates suspended until February 12 but I would like to do them tomorrow without clicking on “restart updates”.
On Windows 10 it was possible to choose the date when the PC would start looking for updates but I can’t find it on Windows 11.

Can you help me plz ?

The easiest way IMO is to use the wumgr utility (downloadable).  https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/guide-to-using-wumgr-for-windows-10-updates/

If there is an update you don’t think you want, I think it is safer to “hide” it using wumgr so that accidental clicks are less likely to install it.

Sorry English is not my native language so I don’t know if I’m making myself clear.

On win 10 I switched on metered connection then I reactivated the update search by choosing a date manually but without clicking on “Check for updates.”
Then I used wushowhide and then I switched off metered connection.

On win 11 I can’t find the way to choose a date manually, the function seems to be no longer available. Did they removed it ?

Yes, it was removed. You can only specify the number of weeks in the UI.
