I've been trying to identify an issue that may be related to Windows Updates, so I paused the updates until 4-11-2021. To my surprise, I walked into my office and noticed that during the night, my PC must have updated anyway. It was on the start up screen ready for me to put in my password. I immediately went to windows updates and found it still on pause. I next started to view the different type of updates to see if in fact it had updated and sure enough there was a definition update for defender during the night. I was under the impression that if you have updates paused it doesn't update anything. Is that not the case? I hate that Microsoft can do whatever they will just because you happen to be running windows as your OS.
How do I really stop or pause any and all updates?
