From PC Mag: If you’ve ever been frustrated about a forced Windows update in the middle of a busy day or hard gaming session, Microsoft is making some changes that could make that a thing of the past.
Windows will now clearly separate power actions from update actions. The Power menu will show separate Restart and Shut down options, allowing users to restart or shut down their device without installing the pending update first. At the same time, update-specific options such as "Update and restart" and "Update and shut down" will be available if desired.
If users want to prevent unwanted distractions ahead of time when they're planning travel, conferences, exams, or even just a busy work week, they can now pause incoming updates for 35 days. Users can also choose a specific day of the month to pause updates until and re-pause new Windows updates for up to 35 days at a time, with no limit on how many times they can reset the pause end date.
The improvements are currently rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Dev and Experimental channels, with a broader rollout to all users to follow.
