I'd be a lot happier

if I could just be able to delay the forced updates on my work Win10 machine. When it decides it's going to update I get a 5 minute warning then it's going down. Last time this happened I was 45 minutes into a couple of 1 hour circuit tests that were going to ride me all the way to shift change. I managed to stop the tests, save what test data I had and get the test sets out of the circuits with about 15 seconds to spare. Wound up having to leave late because I didn't have time after the updates before end of shift to properly complete the ticket and hand it off for retest since the problem required a full hour of testing to prove the fix. The ability to just tell my computer "wait to update for X(up to 12) hours" by itself would be a huge help.
