Windows 11 Update Controls get bigger leeway: skip at setup, longer pauses, and clearer update details
Microsoft is upgrading Windows 11’s update experience: you’ll be able to skip updates during the initial setup, extend update pauses with calendar dates or 35-day intervals, and view more information about what’s changing before you update. The aim is to reduce disruptions by unifying the update flow and coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates, with several changes already in testing via the new Experimental Channel as part of a broader revamp of the Windows Insider program driven by user feedback.
