Imagine that you need to get to work on your Windows computer, but when you turn it on you find that Windows 10 has not found a better time than that to start automatically installing an update. Microsoft has confirmed that with the arrival of Creators Update, many things will change about it.

To start, from April Windows 10 will allow you to decide when you want to install a system update that has already been downloaded to your computer. The Microsoft operating system will start giving you the option to choose between three different options after an update has been downloaded: Restart now, choose a time to reboot (Pick a time) or block the reboot ( Snooze).

In this way, Microsoft will put an end to what until now was a mandatory option without any possibility of choice: restart the computer after a Windows 10 update. The problem was not so much that it was necessary to restart the PC, logical thing To a certain extent, but in many cases it was the system that decided for itself at what point this restart had to occur. That, with Windows 10 Creators Update, will be over.
 

The Creators Update, for those who do not know, is the next major update of Windows 10 that is scheduled to begin deploying from the month of April. It will bring many new features, including from a Game Mode to a function of automatic cleaning of temporary files, also going through interesting changes to the autonomy of laptops. But, above all, this update will be the solution to the annoying problem of updates in Windows 10.

Microsoft itself acknowledges that it is time for something to change with updates to its operating system: "[users] want to have more control over when Windows 10 updates are installed," said John Cable, A high position within the Windows platform. "We have also heard that forced restarts are very annoying if they take place at an inopportune time," he said.

In Windows 10 Creators Update, users will have different options available to manage the installation times of the updates. They can decide when they want the computer to restart so that the new version is installed, and they will even have the possibility to change the restart schedule several times if it coincides at a time when they can not abandon the use of the computer.

Windows 10 updates will weigh less in the future

On the other hand, another surprise of this operating system for the coming months is that Windows 10 updates will weigh less and less. Microsoft has reminded us that we can expect a downsizing of up to 35% on new versions of Windows, all thanks to the Unified Update Platform (UUP) system that the company introduced at the end of last year.
