Tested: Microsoft may finally end forced Windows 11 updates with a new pause feature that gives you full control

Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows 11 that allows users to select a specific date to pause updates until then, potentially ending forced updates. This new feature replaces the existing dropdown menu for pausing updates for up to five weeks. Users may now have greater control over Windows Updates, with the ability to pause updates for as long as they want. The new pause controls are still under development, but users can now pick a date in the calendar to pause updates. This change marks a significant shift in Microsoft's approach to Windows updates.
