Microsoft just released a long list of improvements for Windows 11 as part of its bigger patch Tuesdays, and that includes the ability to pause updates indefinitely, as reported earlier by Windows Central. This option rolled out to Windows Insiders earlier this year, allowing you to hold off on updates for up to 35 days and repeatedly extend the deadline after that. It comes as part of Microsoft’s plan to revitalize Windows 11 with updates focused on addressing user complaints and improving performance. Microsoft patched a bunch of security issues with this update as well, which the company said we can expect to see more of in future releases as it uses AI to identify vulnerabilities. Last month, Microsoft previewed several other features arriving in this build (KB5101650) in an optional June update. That includes a new “Point-in-time restore” option, which can restore your PC, along with your apps, settings, and files, to a previous state. The update also adds some customization options to Widgets, a more precise magnification tool, and improved stability with certain Bluetooth devices. You can view the full list of changes on Microsoft’s website.
