    The pause will last up to 7 days for all updates.

    After that, the defer will still continue for the others.

    Hi,
    Yeah once the 35 days delay is over just use pause and get another 30-35 days out of it maybe :)
    Otherwise which ever update is bad for you see about hiding it
    Post which ever one you're having issues with.

    I still haven't fathomed out why some of us see 35 days on offer while other only see 7 days. My 1709 Pro, build 16299.248 still shows 35 days, as it has done since first upgrading to 1709.

    Hi,
    Me either :)
    Might of made a little difference if one was set for builds for business or not before other builds
    I switched off the new wording of "Targeted" too I sure didn't want a bulls eye on me lol

    OK, but here's one thing that is still confusing to me. My "pause" setting on one of my Win 10 PCs (a laptop) is 35 days (not 7 days). And my "defer" setting for "quality updates" is 30 days. So what happens in this particular case? Does the "pause" setting supersede the "quality update" setting, giving me an additional 5 days deferral of "quality updates"? If that's so, wouldn't it make more sense for Windows to show the "quality update" setting grayed out, because the number 30 in this case is actually incorrect? Or does the "quality update" setting supersede the "pause" setting, reducing the amount of the pause by 5 days? And if that's so, shouldn't Windows indicate that in some way?

    In some older builds of Windows, it was 35 days for pause while the newer ones are only 7 days by default now. I'm still not sure why some newer ones are still showing 35 days though.

    Pause will indeed supersede defer. However, if defer last longer than the Pause, it will still defer until its time runs out.

    Well, I'm in good company, it seems :)

    It's worth noting that at the end of a Pause (7 or 35 days) you cannot pause again until you have got the latest updates.. This is clearly stated on the Pause updates setting page, as shown in the screenshots in post #1.
