Currently I am using the laptop of windows 10 OS. And I am manually pausing windows updates, because I don’t want to get windows 11 installed on my laptop because my laptop doesn’t support windows 11.
The system configuration what I have currently doesn’t suit for windows 11. so I don’t want my laptop to get updated so I manually disabling windows updates. Now today morning as I so it is saying the Pause limit has been reached you need to install the latest updates on windows.
How can we fix the issue and how can I pause the windows updates again?

If you’re receiving the message “The pause limit has been reached. You will need to install the latest updates on your device” on Windows 10, it means that you have reached the maximum number of times you can pause Windows updates. Microsoft sets a limit on how many times you can pause updates to ensure that your device stays up to date with important security patches and bug fixes.
To resolve this issue and install the latest updates on your device, follow these steps:
Click on the Start menu and select “Settings” (the gear icon).
In the Settings window, click on “Update & Security.”
In the Windows Update tab, click on “Check for updates” to search for available updates.
If updates are found, click on “Download” and let the updates install on your device.
If you are unable to install updates using the Windows Update settings, you can try using the Windows Update Assistant, which is a tool provided by Microsoft to manually install updates. Here’s how to use it: how to install free windows 11 step by step.
Visit the official Microsoft website and search for “Windows Update Assistant.”
Download and run the Windows Update Assistant tool.
The tool will automatically check for updates and guide you through the installation process.
By using either the Windows Update settings or the Windows Update Assistant, you should be able to install the latest updates on your Windows 10 device and resolve the “pause limit has been reached” message. Remember, keeping your system up to date is important for security and stability.
