Help … I apologize for my ignorance, but I’m completely new to Windows 10 (I have Pro) and have recently set up a new laptop.
I followed PKCano’s instructions (https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/2000016-guide-for-windows-update-settings-for-windows-10/) for deferring/managing updates … so I set the following in Local Group Policy Editor>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>Windows Update:
Configure Automatic Updates: Enabled, set to “2” – Notify for download and auto install
Windows Update for Business>Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received: Enabled, st to Semi-Annual Channel, 180 days
Windows Update for Business>Select when Quality Updates are received: Not configured
Manage Preview Builds: Disabled
Select the Target Feature Update version: Enabled, set to 2004

Then, today, I followed Susan Bradley’s instructions for pausing the February 9 “Patch Tuesday” updates until a specific day in February a few weeks from now. To do so, I turned metered connection on and went to Settings> Update & Security> Windows Update> Advanced Options > Pause Updates and selected the date I wanted from the pull-down menu.

So far, so good. Then, seeing various recommendations to download WuMgr for the purpose of being able to show/hide and choose which updates to (eventually) install, I downloaded that ZIP from GitHub and extracted it.

My problem now is that I notice that “Windows Update” is no longer an option under Settings> Update & Security. The left-side menu now starts with “Delivery Optimization.”
Where did “Windows Update” go? It was there, right at the top before “Delivery Optimization” when I went to Pause Updates as per Susan’s instructions, but now it’s gone … along with the entire corresponding right side of that screen (which, as I can see from referring to Susan’s YouTube video, includes a “Check for Updates” button at the top, then “Optional updates available” (with a “Download and Install” link), and several clickable options (“Pause updates for 7 days,” “Change active hours,” “View update history,” and “Advanced Options”). All of that is now missing.
Is this expected behavior based on anything I did as described above?
If not, what should/can I do to get it back?
Thanks in advance for your help!
