Win10 Creators Update 1703 no longer able to set “Pause Updates” to 35 days

Posted on July 6, 2017 at 18:36 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

A letter from SC:

I am running Widows 10 Pro Version 1703, Build 15063.413.

Several weeks ago I was able to set “Pause Updates” for up to 35 days.

Now I am only able to “Pause Updates” for up to 7 days.

What has happened? Is there some way to revert to 35 days?

I don’t know what the problem might be. Do any of you? I see there’s a similar complaint from Gabe1972 on the Microsoft Answers forum.

UPDATE: I seem to recall there was a change from 35 to 7 days when the beta version of 1703 finally hit RTM. Could that be the source of the confusion?
