14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 10 Home users are not allowed to defer system updates, and as we’ve recently found out, they weren't even allowed to disable app updates in the Windows Store, so all new versions that were released through the store were automatically installed on their PCs.
Today, however, Microsoft has rolled out an update for the Windows Store, and as part of this release, the company has also introduced an option to disable automatic app updates.
In other words, if you don't want new versions of your apps to be automatically installed on your PC, just fire up the Windows Store, go to Settings and disable this new option. After that, the Windows Store will let you know that updates are available, but you'll have to manually install them on the computer.
As far as the OS updates are concerned, Microsoft says that it doesn't allow Windows 10 Home users to delay them because many are consumers who only expect the best experience on the operating system, without having to spend any time setting it up. Keeping Windows Update always on should help ensure that, the company has said, without mentioning what happens in case botched updates are also shipped.
On the other hand, Windows 10 Pro users have not only options to disable automatic app updates in the store but also settings to defer updates, so if you want a little bit more from the OS, this is the better choice for you.
