contacted me and reported a strange observation (thanks for that). A reader's feedbackĮnd of May 2020 German blog reader H.v.H. Functional updates can be postponed by the user until shortly before the end of the support period of the installation (see Windows 10 V1903: Update Control Inconsistencies – Part 2).

Since Windows 10 version 1903, feature updates should be offered as optional.
