As a Windows 10 user, you should already know that the company is treating Windows 10 as a service (WaaS). That means updates are rolled out automatically in the background without you having to check for them manually. However, the biggest complaint from customer feedback is that their computer would restart after an upgrade at the most inopportune times and disrupt your workflow. Currently, you can manage Windows Update with the Active Hours feature. But this new announcement promises to provide you with more transparency about updates and give you additional control over them. When there is an update ready to be installed, you will get the following dialog message. The new feature adds three new options to choose from. The most prominent being a “Snooze” option. This will allow you to hold off the update for three days.
You can also choose “Pick a time,” which will allow you to schedule the restart for a specific time that works best for you. Of course, if your work is saved and you’re ready, you will have the option to “Restart now,” too.
In addition to having control over Windows Update restarts, Microsoft explains that you will be able to see if your system is up-to-date at a glance. Easily seeing if your system is current and making unexpected restarts a thing of the past should bring an end to one of the biggest complaints Windows users have had for what seems like forever. What are your thoughts on finally having complete control over when your PC restarts after Windows Updates? Leave a comment below and let us know.
