Click on Enabled, fill in the product version in the first box (“Windows 10”), and then the feature release version you want to keep. Find the setting for Select the target Feature Update version. The reason is that this month’s updates include expanded sections to choose various versions of Windows 10 or Windows 11 and specifically block what you don’t want.įor those of you on Windows 10 Professional, after installing the September updates you’ll be able to click on the search box and type in “edit group policy.” Next, scroll down to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Update, and Windows Update for Business. Therefore, I recommend applying the September updates now. I haven’t seen printing problems with directly attached printers, the most likely scenario for home users. If you do have hardware that can handle Windows 11, you’ll be offered - but not pushed to - Windows 11. And if you leave the setting alone and do nothing, and your computer does not have the hardware capabilities for Windows 11, you will not be offered the upgrade. If you plan to let your machine upgrade to 21H2, click on this link. If you want to stay on 21H1, click on this link and install it on your system. I’ve made it easier for you by including links to download these registry keys. If your machine has a feature deferral setting (that registry key/group policy setting that PK has pointed to here ) it will not upgrade to Windows 11 without you explicitly entering Windows 11. Now for those of us that Microsoft affectionately calls “Unmanaged” – that is those of us that us Microsoft update.įirst – if your machine can’t handle Windows 11 it won’t be offered it. So what’s she’s saying is that if you are a business user and have WSUS or SCCM or have used Windows Update for business policies – YOU have to choose Windows 11 in order to get it. I always call the difference between “managed” (those computers behind some sort of group policy, or patching platform) and “unmanaged” (those computers that have no settings other than to update from Microsoft update) as whether or not you have something between you and Redmond. They will stay there until YOU decide otherwise. On October 5th your devices will remain on Windows 10. Managed devices will NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPGRADE to #Windows11.
