Well, it’s no doubt that Microsoft’s Windows 10 is right now the most used desktop operating system. Compared to every other desktop operating system, Windows 10 offers more features and options. However, the operating system is not without its downside. One of the major downsides of Windows 10 is its automatic updates.

Every week there are updates available for Windows 10. The updates not only consume your internet bandwidth, but they also take lots of time to install. Windows 10 automatically downloads the updates in the background and installs it at a random time. Also, the update often takes a few hours to install.

To deal with such issues, Microsoft introduced an ‘Active Hour’ feature. Once you set the Active hour, Windows will only install the updates outside the active hours. For example, if you have set active hours from 7 AM to 10 PM, Windows will not install the update at that time. It will only install the updates before 7 AM or after 10 PM.
