Microsoft has made it easier, but not entirely easy, to pause forced Windows updates forever.

In a blog post on the company's website, Microsoft described several ways in which it gave Window users more control over updating the software.

Perhaps the most notable among these is the ability to pause forced Windows updates indefinitely. The catch, however, is that you can only pause an update for up to 35 days, after which you'll have to pause again. There are no limits on how many times you can reset the pause end date, Microsoft wrote.

The company also introduced the ability to skip updates immediately during device setup.

Also, the company separated power actions from update actions; now, you can choose to "restart" or "shutdown" your computer, "update and restart," or "update and shut down" your computer.

Finally, Microsoft is now providing more detail on driver updates, making it easier to understand what, exactly, are you updating.

All of these updates are rolling out to Windows Insider users in the Dev and Experimental Channels, and will probably trickle out to all users soon.
