Download and Install is available for Windows 10 version 1903. This new feature provides users with a complete hold over the download and install of new updates. Microsoft introduced this new feature as a result of the huge number of complaints recorded about updates being downloaded automatically without users’ permission. New updates were installed automatically and the machines rebooted by themselves. This often resulted in loss of files and folders which was really annoying.

We’re sure Microsoft’s statement comes as a relief to most Windows users. This new feature seems to be working well as one Redditor confirmed that the version 1903 already shows the new button to “Download and install now.” From now onwards, users will be able to use this option to better control the update process and decide when they want the updates to be installed. Previously, users could utilize Active hours to prevent the automatic rebooting of the computer for a given timeframe. However, Download and Install is a more convenient alternative. The good news doesn’t end here. The company plans to extend this new features to other versions as well.
