Windows 11 big Patch Tuesday: Hold off on updates for up to 35 days

Microsoft has pushed out a major batch of updates for Windows 11 as part of its larger Patch Tuesday cycle. One of the most notable improvements is the ability to pause updates for up to 35 days and repeatedly extend the deadline afterward. This feature was previously available only to Windows Insider testers.

The update is part of Microsoft's plan to revamp Windows 11 by addressing user complaints and improving performance. The company has also fixed several security issues; Microsoft says it will increasingly use AI to identify vulnerabilities in future releases.

Last month, Microsoft previewed several other features now included in this build (KB5101650) as part of an optional June update. Among them is a new "Point-in-time restore" option that can restore your PC, including apps, settings, and files, to a previous state. The update also adds customization options to Widgets, a more precise magnification tool, and improved stability with certain Bluetooth devices.
