Since it is well-known that Microsoft Windows 10 updates tend to be buggy on the day of release, it is possible to defer upgrades for a given period of time. This means you won't get the latest and greatest features, but if you're a content producer, a professional who relies on their computer, or just a heavy gamer, you may appreciate the improved stability.

Note that this requires Windows 10 Pro. If you run Home, I recommend you upgrade to Pro.

I find the sweet spot to be at deferring feature updates for 60 days, and security updates for 8 (just enough to make sure a week passes before any issues are found, just in case).

For example, I just received update 1909, which was released starting in November 2019: howtogeek.com/437112/whats-new , more than enough time to fix its rough edges.

Since it is well-know that Microsoft Windows 10 updates tend to be buggy on the day of release, it is possible to defer the updates for ever. This means that you'll get access to the lastest updates, compatibility with more software, and if you're a content producer or else, you'll appreciate the control, the freedom and the rock-hard stability.

Note that this requires to install Linux. If you run Windows, I recommend you upgrade to Manjaro or Ubuntu.
