[SOLVED] Windows Update

[ZuluGapurtu]

I paused updates for 2 weeks. Today, I idly was browsing my phone, nearby the computer, then suddenly I hear the system began utilizing something.... I went to the task manager and guess what I see, the windows update service began to work... no notification, no messages, nothing. It just started to update itself without asking me. So what’s the point of the Pause?!

depend if it critical or security related

Correct.
Security Updates happen. For good reasons.

Other things fall under the pause.

Well, they do in the Microsoft Service Agreements in Section 7b - which you probably agreed to. If you are in the United States that is …

“Sometimes you’ll need software updates to keep using the Services. We may automatically check your version of the software and download software updates or configuration changes. You may also be required to update the software to continue using the Services. Such updates are subject to these Terms unless other terms accompany the updates, in which case, those other terms apply. Microsoft isn’t obligated to make any updates available and we don’t guarantee that we will support the version of the system or device for which you purchased or licensed the software, apps, content or other products.”
