Long before the launch of the Windows 10 operating system, many friends have been troubled by the Windows 10 upgrade pop-up window. But did you know that after upgrading to Windows 10, there is actually an automatic update function. The Windows 10 system will detect whether you use the computer during non-working hours, and then decide whether to update the system. However, the author still heard many friends say that Windows 10 automatic update interrupted their work, and even updated it while writing a manuscript, which directly led to the loss of work content. So, how are you dealing with Windows 10 automatic updates?
Why does this happen?
First of all, what we need to confirm is Microsoft's official definition of Windows 10: Windows 10 is a service, which means that it is always up to date, and your computer always has the latest and greatest features.
The use period set by the author is 8:00-22:00
By default, Windows 10 will download when your computer is not busy on the Internet, and it will also automatically update outside of the usage period. The default use time of Windows 10 is 8:00-18:00, which means that when you use it after 6 pm, once the system thinks that you are not using the computer, and the content of this update needs to be restarted to complete , there may be an automatic restart to update the operation.
I believe that users who have upgraded to Windows 10 will find that compared to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, Windows 10 cancels the option not to update in the system update interface, and only has the option to choose the update time period. So, have you ever been interrupted by a Windows 10 update, and how do you deal with Windows 10 automatic updates?
What my friends do
First of all, the author will talk about the practices of the people around me. Most of the friends around me are Windows 7 and Windows 10, and the ratio is almost evenly divided. For users who upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, some of them have manually turned off Windows 10 updates, and some of them have kept the automatic update status.
Windows 10 system installation update method
The method of turning off Windows 10 automatic update is actually relatively simple, except to postpone the update once through the system's own setting "Notify that a restart has been scheduled". For friends who use Windows 10 Professional Edition, Enterprise Edition, and Education Edition, it only takes a few simple steps to achieve permanent update download and installation reminders.
1. Open "Group Policy": Enter "Group Policy" in the Windows search box
2. Open in sequence: Computer Configuration--Administrative Templates--Windows Components--Windows Update
3. Double-click "Configure Automatic Updates" on the right, select Enabled, and select "Notify for download and notify for installation" in the drop-down box below
The advantage of this method is that when encountering a Windows update, the system will prompt you in the notification center that there is an update available, and you will download it after you confirm it, and after the download is complete, you will be notified again to choose whether to install it, and it will restart only after you confirm it. Installation, in this way, the system update download and installation are completely in your own hands, basically avoiding the embarrassment of being interrupted by the Windows 10 update, the author recommends this method.
If you are installing Windows 10 Home Edition, the above-mentioned update options are not provided, and you can only force a permanent shutdown from the system service. Of course, this method cannot obtain Windows update patches in time, so this method is also extremely not recommended. The opening method is as follows:
1. Open "Services": Enter "Services" in the Windows search box
2. Find the "Windows Update" option on the right
3. Click "Stop this service" on the left (remind again that this method is not recommended)
The latest version of Windows 10 build 15002 optional delayed update
build 15002 update advanced options
At present, Microsoft has pushed build 15002 for Windows Insider internal test users. Microsoft has added a new option for Windows Update, which allows individuals to disable Windows Update for up to 35 days. Although it is not completely closed, the 35-day delay can basically satisfy everyone. Delayed update requirements of some users.
However, Build 15002 is currently only pushed for Insider users, and friends who have not joined the Insider program will have to wait for a while to receive the push patch.
In short, Windows system updates still need to be carried out, so in addition to adding new functions, each update will also carry out bug fixes, security patches, etc., which is also a very important factor to ensure the security of the Windows system. Therefore, in order to ensure that you will not be troubled by Windows 10 system updates, the author recommends that everyone pay more attention to the updates of their computer systems, especially friends who do important work during non-use hours, so as to prevent problems before they happen.
