Microsoft has introduced a feature allowing Windows users to postpone updates indefinitely, pausing them in 35-day increments. The change, rolling out to Dev and Experimental Windows Insider channels, gives users more control over when updates install, preventing interruptions during gaming or work. Additionally, new options let users shut down or restart without applying updates, addressing long-standing complaints about forced restarts.
