How to extend MS updates delay to beyond 35 days.
After a messed up 20H2 update, and reverting back to 1909, I found a way to extend the updates delay to beyond the 35 days, I have mine set now to 8/29/2025 so that it never updates until that date, which means I can control what updates are installed and when. Right now, 20H2 is messed up, so now I wait for the next feature update, and still use 1909 even though it has reached the end of it's service, and by having an up to date firewall and antivirus (never rely on MS defender), I can still keep using 1909 until a more stable version is released.
OK, here's how to extend it.
PC Settings->Update & Security->Advanced options
Then scroll a little till you get to the section 'Pause updates', then in the drop down, select the very last one, then click the 'Back' arrow at the very top left of the settings window, then click 'Advanced Option' again, then go to the 'Pause updates' section and the drop down should show more dates, select the very last one, and repeat from the 'Advanced Options' for as long as you like.
As of writing this post, I can currently extend the delay to Mon, Nov 12, 2029
