• Microsoft previously promised it would give users the option to pause Windows 11 updates for as long as needed
• The first work to that end has been discovered hidden in a preview build
• It's still early days, but it's a hopeful sign that this will be in testing soon

As part of its campaign to fix Windows 11, one of Microsoft's most important promises for me was giving users more control over Windows updates — and it's now clear that this functionality will be arriving sooner rather than later.
