Windows 11 Pro – Group Policy Commands To Defer Windows Updates

Topic

New Reply

Hi,

I am new to Windows 11 Pro.

Where can I find the changes that Susan and others suggest to make in the Group Policy Editor and possibly the Registry?

Thanks in advance.

John

See Topic: 2000016: Guide for Windows Update Settings for Windows 10 @ AskWoody They should mostly still work on Windows 11. Also, see Topic: 6000002 Guide to using WUMGR for Windows 10 updates @ AskWoody. It also works on Windows 11.

To defer updates for the 15 days or so after an Update comes live.  I think my setting to remain of 22H2 is set.

Thanks.

I was under the impression that no matter what settings you put in windows an occasional one would still sneak through. That was one reason why I have used WuMgr for years now. Now only the security Intelligence updates for MS Defender get through, and that I WANT to happen. The others show up on a list in WuMgr and I can run the ones I choose, WHEN I choose, and thus can image my system before I do it.
