Same as How can I defer updates in Windows 10 Home?, but for Windows 10 Pro:

I prefer knowing what each update does and reading about its impact (including whether it is causing widespread problems for people) before allowing it to be installed on my system.

 - or disallowing! Is it possible to "reject" an update altogether, or is it just "deferred" until later? When later: next boot, next day, next month? If rejecting is possible: Is it done as in Win 8.1, or is there a difference?

  • You simple defer the installation it however, eventually, you will be forced to install it How long you can defer the installation of a required update, has not been announced yet, these updates will be required in the same way `Windows 8.1 Update 1` was required to get future security updates to Windows 8.1. – Ramhound Jul 10 '15 at 15:57

    Only Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise [have the ability to turn off Windows updates](https://4sysops.com/archives/disable-windows-update-in-windows-10/), giving you time to study the ramifications, but it appears you cannot pick and choose updates to install anymore, so sad. – Moab Jul 10 '15 at 15:57
  • @Moab - You can't choose not to install `Windows 8.1 Update 1`, if you want security updates that is, honestly it is about time. Apple does not give you a choice, if you want support, you install up to a support version. I see little difference in the Windows 10 model. – Ramhound Jul 10 '15 at 15:59

    I still think it sucks. Don't care what apple does. – Moab Jul 10 '15 at 16:00

The steps are similar to 'reject' or 'hide' an update. Go to Windows Updates->Important Updates. Right click the update and click "Hide Update". That's it!

  • According to the page linked in Moab's comment, updates will not be shown in Windows Updates but directly installed, therefore **there is nothing to click on**. The page also explains how to change that. – Burgmeister Jul 13 '15 at 17:12
  • @ParasSidhu - This use to be the case. This is no longer entirely true with specific versions of Windows 10. – Ramhound Jul 14 '15 at 11:31
  • Ok, it seems I am using an older build. The final answer will come on 29th July. – Paras Sidhu Jul 14 '15 at 11:35
