Figure 14-8 Windows 10 Windows Update

First, individual users can’t turn off updates, part of the Windows as a

service model that Microsoft uses with Windows 10. A user may only pause

updates for up to 35 days, but cannot skip or hide updates. Users do not

completely lack control though; you can set Active hours to tell Windows

when it can reboot to install the latest updates.

Second, Windows 10 did away with critical, recommended, and optional

updates and replaced them with quality and feature updates. Quality updates

are the classic patches that you know and love, with one twist: they are now

cumulative. Each update includes all the changes from all previous quality

updates. This cuts down on the update, reboot, update again drudgery of

installing Windows from scratch.

Feature updates are a whole new beast. These “updates” are really new

versions of Windows and they are released twice a year in the spring and fall.
