Feature updates take you from one version of Windows to another, such as from Windows 1909 to Windows 2004. Quality updates, or Cumulative updates may fix minor issues, or make minor changes, some not even moving you from one build to another, while other cumulative or quality updates will actually change the build number without changing the version number.

At this point in time, and with the changes to how Feature Updates are applied, the answer to that is, "Yes." But, if one wishes to postpone other Windows Updates (and I think that critical updates are never able to be delayed) one can use those settings. The Pause for 7 days is just the default pause. It says right beneath if you wish to have a longer period then use the advanced features to set the time span (up to 35 days). In advanced settings you also have the option to postpone Feature Updates from even being presented for up to 1 year (365 days) and quality updates from being downloaded and applied for up to a month (30 days). -- Brian *-*Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 /The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it./ ~ Lawrence Krauss
