As Microsoft promised in early April, Windows 10 is gaining a new option that gives users better control over when its twice-yearly major feature updates are installed.
That option is called ‘Download and install now’ and should help Windows 10 users avoid unintentionally accepting a feature update after using Windows Update to check for new patches.
While clicking ‘Check for updates’ could mean checking for monthly or security updates, historically it’s also triggered the installation of a feature update, which can be a major disruption.
For now, the option has started turning up on preview versions of Windows 10 1903 and the May 2019 Update.
