However, these updates sometimes cause issues once installed.<\/p>\n<p>So, how can you fix these issues or better manage the updates?<\/p>\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll explore various strategies to effectively manage Windows 10 updates. Although Windows 10 has <strong>redefined updates<\/strong>, limiting your ability to choose which updates to install, there are still viable options available to take control. Let\u2019s discuss these methods in detail.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/ebooks-to-master-windows-10\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 10 Best eBooks to Master Windows 10\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10 Best eBooks to Master Windows 10<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/ebooks-to-master-windows-10.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-29828 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/ebooks-to-master-windows-10.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">10 Best eBooks to Master Windows 10<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAs Windows 10 was a free upgrade, I, like most Windows users, impetuously upgraded to it. To my...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Manage Windows Update Settings<\/h2>\n<p>You can manage updates in Windows 10 using the available settings. Although you don\u2019t have as much control as in previous versions, you can still adjust these settings to your advantage.<\/p>\n<p>To begin, open the <strong>Start<\/strong> menu, go to <strong>Settings<\/strong>, and select \u201c<strong>Update & Security<\/strong>\u201c. Below, you\u2019ll find useful tips and tricks to effectively manage your updates.<\/p>\n<h3>Set Active Hours<\/h3>\n<p>Windows 10 automatically handles updates, ensuring that it doesn\u2019t restart your system while you\u2019re actively using it. To prevent disruptions during your work hours, you can specify your active hours in the system settings. Here\u2019s how you can set your active hours:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click \u201c<strong>Change active hours<\/strong>\u201d under Windows Update.<\/li>\n<li>Adjust the start and end times in the dialog and click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-manage-windows-10-updates\/change-active-update-hours-windows-10.jpg\" width=\"869\" height=\"773\" alt=\"Change active update hours in Windows 10\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Optimize Update Delivery<\/h3>\n<p>The Windows Update Delivery Optimization feature allows you to receive updates faster by downloading them from other Windows 10 systems nearby. This is particularly beneficial for networks with multiple computers. Follow these steps to enable and configure this feature:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click \u201c<strong>Advanced options<\/strong>\u201d under Windows Update, then select \u201c<strong>Delivery Optimization<\/strong>\u201c.<\/li>\n<li>Toggle on \u201c<strong>Allow downloads from other PCs<\/strong>\u201d and select an option below it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-manage-windows-10-updates\/optimize-update-delivery-windows-10.jpg\" width=\"657\" height=\"891\" alt=\"Optimize update delivery in Windows 10\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Pause Updates Temporarily<\/h3>\n<p>While Windows 10 doesn\u2019t allow you to completely turn off updates, you can pause them for up to 35 days if you use Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise. After this period, updates will resume automatically, and you\u2019ll need to install all pending updates before you can pause again. Here are the steps to pause updates:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Navigate to \u201c<strong>Advanced options<\/strong>\u201d under Windows Update.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the \u201c<strong>Pause Updates<\/strong>\u201d option on this screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-manage-windows-10-updates\/pause-updates-windows-10.jpg\" width=\"1013\" height=\"818\" alt=\"Pause updates in Windows 10\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Uninstall Problematic Updates<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, updates may cause issues, and you might consider uninstalling problematic updates. Although direct uninstallation of individual updates is no longer possible, recovery options are available to address problems. To access these options, click \u201c<strong>View update history<\/strong>\u201d > \u201c<strong>Recovery options<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-manage-windows-10-updates\/recovery-options-windows-10.jpg\" width=\"1016\" height=\"791\" alt=\"Recovery options in Windows 10\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Resolve Windows Update Issues<\/h2>\n<p>If common solutions like rebooting your computer or restarting the update process don\u2019t resolve update issues, Windows Update still has a solution. While generally reliable, Windows Update can sometimes fail due to various problems. Microsoft offers a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/10164\/fix-windows-update-errors\">troubleshooter<\/a> designed to help you diagnose and resolve these issues efficiently.<\/p>\n<h2>Advanced Configuration via Group Policy Editor<\/h2>\n<p>For those needing more control over Windows Update than the standard settings allow, the Group Policy Editor provides extensive customization options. However, availability varies: some settings are only accessible in Windows 10 Pro, Education, or Enterprise, while others are also available in Windows 10 Home.<\/p>\n<p>Press <code>Win<\/code> + <code>R<\/code>, type \u201c<strong>gpedit.msc<\/strong>\u201c, and hit <strong>Enter<\/strong> to launch the <strong>Local Group Policy Editor<\/strong>. In the left pane, navigate to <strong>Computer Configuration<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Administrative Templates<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Windows Components<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Windows Update<\/strong> to explore the available settings.<\/p>\n<h3>Defer Updates<\/h3>\n<p>In the editor, go to the \u201c<strong>Windows Update for Business<\/strong>\u201d sub-folder and open \u201c<strong>Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received<\/strong>\u201d and \u201c<strong>Select when Quality Updates are received<\/strong>\u201c. These settings allow you to defer feature updates for up to 365 days and quality updates for up to 30 days, with options to choose the readiness level.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-manage-windows-10-updates\/defer-updates-windows-10.jpg\" width=\"857\" height=\"795\" alt=\"Defer updates in Windows 10\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Explore Additional Group Policy Settings<\/h2>\n<p>In the \u201c<strong>Windows Update<\/strong>\u201d folder, you\u2019ll find a variety of options that let you further tailor the behavior of Windows Update. For instance, \u201c<strong>Always automatically restart at the scheduled time<\/strong>\u201d ensures the system restarts after updates, allowing time to save your work, while \u201c<strong>Do not include drivers with Windows Updates<\/strong>\u201d prevents driver updates from being automatically installed.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-manage-windows-10-updates\/windows-update-local-group-policy-editor.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"706\" alt=\"Windows Update in Local Group Policy Editor\"><\/figure>\n<p>This concludes our guide on configuring and managing updates in Windows 10.
