How to Delay the Windows 10 Creators Update<\/h1>\n

Before we get started: This tip applies to those using Windows 10 Home. If you have Windows 10 Pro, you have a easy option to delay updates by as much as 60 days.<\/p>\n

However whenever Microsoft rolls out a “features” update like the Creators update which started rolling out on April 11, 2017 sometimes the first ones to get it sometimes feel like beta testers. If you’re one of those who would prefer not to be among the first to get the Windows 10 Creators Update [Windows 10 Version 1703], here’s an easy way you can delay it.<\/p>\n

If you’re using Windows 10 Home and you are connected to the Internet using a\u00a0Wi-Fi connection, you can delay the Creators Update until you’re ready. All you have to do is turn on Metered connection.<\/p>\n

If you turn on Metered connection, you will have more control over feature updates like Creators Update.\u00a0and give you control over when it is installed. According to Microsoft, turning on Metered Connection will not<\/em> prevent critical updates from installing but it may affect some Windows 10 apps.<\/p>\n

Metered connection does not block all Windows Updates.\u00a0Here is some information from Microsoft about\u00a0Metered connection:<\/p>\n
