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, 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
