Windows 10 offers many updated and useful features for users. But not everyone is happy to be constantly updated and changed. This is especially the case if you are in the middle of a big project, or you don’t want your computer updating or changing anything feature-wise.
Windows 10 provides you the option of defer feature and quality updates. If you are using windows 10 pro, education, enterprise edition then you can easily defer features and quality updates. By doing this new features will not be downloaded. One thing to keep it in mind, this action will not effect the security updates.
