The Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 is almost here, but if you're not ready, in this guide, we'll tell you the steps to delay it.
Starting on October 17, Microsoft's update servers are expected to be busier than usual pushing the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) to millions of compatible devices already running Windows 10. The update will roll out in phases, beginning with newer devices known to work with the new version to work out any unforeseen bugs, and then expanding at a slow pace until is fully available to everyone.
If you rely on your computer for work, or you just want to wait until you're sure the update is solid before diving in, you can delay the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update in a few ways, all while still continuing to receive vital security patches.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through three different ways to delay the Fall Creators Update whether you're running Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Home while still getting quality updates to keep your device secure.

You’re welcome. Classic Shell has saved my sanity. I’m working in IT these days and have to deal with dozens of Win8 and Win10 computers. Were it not for Classic Shell I’d have lost my remaining marbles.
Read this and it will explain how to prevent the automatic upgrade to Windows 10.
It’s easy to do.
I have already set the network settings on my home machines to “metered connection”, after I had to uninstall the last new build Windows 10 put on my machines on 9/27. I am NEVER looking for “new features” in Win 10, just basic functions that work well and that’s it.
Well, Reno, I did have some problems w/ the April Creators release, v. 1703, that MS promoted but didn’t push (manual upgrade and that’s on most Win 10 machines by now) causing trouble w/ two third-party applications I use, Bose SoundTouch and RedOxygen Office SMS. I kept my desktop on v1607 and don’t have trouble w/ those applications.
The core OS v. 1703 is useful, stable, and works great. Hoping Fall Creators will fix things. Meanwhile, Creators has been extremely useful for me and looking forward to new features in full version coming up.
Greatly appreciated, BBB333.
Thank you so much!
I am working on my new computer daily to try and correct the problem caused by an update on Win 10 home on Sept. 17th. Apparently the file got corrupted and my computer cannot start and run properly. It just runs so slowly that it is a piece of expensive garbage. I had to resurrect an older computer to work here.
I finally got in the new computer today after a several hour delay while it continued to run something in the background (i think it was the update file) I found the reset option and decided to wipe it clean and reinstall.
It’s now at 15% in the reset process. Wish me luck.
