I just updated from 1909 to 2004 (19041.630). I noticed that deferrals for quality and feature updates was no longer possible using settings. Is it still correct that the only way to defer quality updates for 30 days and feature updates for 365 days is by using group policy?
From the tutorial section:
Windows Update - Defer Feature and Quality Updates in Windows 10
Contents
- Option One: Defer Feature and Quality Updates in Settings (No longer available in Windows 10 version 2004 and higher)
- Option Two: Defer Feature and Quality Updates in Registry Editor (No longer available in Windows 10 version 2004 and higher)
- Option Three: Defer Feature Updates for Semi-Annual Channel in Local Group Policy Editor
- Option Four: Defer Feature Updates for Semi-Annual Channel using a REG file and Registry Editor
- Option Five: Defer Quality Updates for Semi-Annual Channel in Local Group Policy Editor
- Option Six: Defer Quality Updates for Semi-Annual Channel using a REG file and Registry Editor
Thanks, dalchina. I searched for your definitive answer, but just did not find it.
That's ok- not always easy to know where to look. Often the Tutorial section is a great resource.
You can use this batch script to defer feature updates in Windows 10 version 2004.
