Hello

To remove the pause on your Windows updates, you can follow these steps:

 

Open the Local Group Policy Editor by searching for gpedit.msc in the Start menu.

Navigate to the following path: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update.

On the right side, double-click the Remove access to "Pause updates" feature policy.

Select Not Configured or Disabled in the pop-up window.

Click Apply and OK to save the changes.

After you’ve done this, you should be able to check for updates again.

 

As for upgrading to Windows 11, please ensure that your device meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. You can verify this using the PC Health Check app. Once your device is ready, you can upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through Windows Update:

 

Open Settings.

Click on Update & Security.

Click on Windows Update.

Click the Check for updates button.

Click the Download and install now button.

 

Please note that it’s recommended to wait until you’re notified through Windows Update that the upgrade is ready for your device.
