To reduce this frustration, Microsoft came up with a feature called active hours, where you can set your working hours and Microsoft won’t install updates during this time. Instead, you can have the option to decide when you want to install the updates and restart your system to commit them.

So, turning updates off entirely in Windows 10 is not a good idea. Of course, updates are necessary for your computer’s security and better functioning. That said, it can be a bit annoying too, especially when an update followed by a restart necessary to commit the updates, happens during your working hours. This is a highly useful feature given that patch management is entirely out of your hands as Windows takes care of reducing vulnerabilities and issues, although there are several patch management tools that make the task less onerous.

It also comes with the ability to automatically download and install updates. Windows 10 is an advanced and comprehensive operating system that comes with a great list of features.
