Frequent Question: How Do I Turn off Windows Update Pause?
Contents

How do I stop Windows Update pause?

Here’s how you stop Windows store upgrades from slowing you down:

  1. From the Start menu, search for the Microsoft Store -> select the Microsoft store.
  2. From the three-dot menu, select settings.
  3. Slide the Update apps automatically toggle to Off.

Why are my Windows updates paused?

Pausing the updates means you’re running vulnerable software, which obviously isn’t ideal. So generally, you should either allow automatic update or update Windows 10 manually. There are occasions, however, (like vacations), that you don’t really have the time to update, and pausing makes sense.
