Defer Upgrades in Windows 10

January 28, 2016 by Admin Leave a Comment

Defer upgrades in Windows 10 are a newly introduced feature in the latest edition of Windows 10 which stops your PC form getting the very latest Windows latest updated features right away as soon as they are rolled out.

Basically while using this feature you put the latest updates of your operating system on hold buying some more time on the current operating system and using the current security and additional features without updating it. The operating system defines defer upgrade as putting your PC on “Current branch for business”, that is putting the latest windows updates on hold for business purposes so that users don’t have to adapt to the newly introduced features of the operating system and can continue working on the current version of Windows and security features as long as the Defer upgrades are in play.
