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.
