Intelligence Summary
Microsoft rolled out a Windows 11 Patch Tuesday update set that includes a longer option to pause updates. The feature allows users to delay installing updates for up to 35 days and then extend that deadline repeatedly. It was previously tested with Windows Insiders before reaching wider audiences. The update also includes multiple security fixes. Users should still plan regular patching despite the ability to pause, to reduce exposure to newly fixed vulnerabilities.
