What exactly do you mean by a "business or enterprise" user? I am a business. But I don't see a "business" version of Windows 10, just a Pro version. My understanding of the "Enterprise" version is that it's not for sale, only "rent" as a subscription. Also what exactly does "delay" mean? Delay to a specific time? Do I get to pick when it runs, or does the update only run at some random time of Microsoft's choosing?– user316117Commented Jan 17, 2017 at 4:55

@user316117 Microsoft has significantly shifted Windows to SaaS, or "Software as a Service". This means that there are significantly more updates, and in a shorter span of time. Editions don't really exist as they used to. Delay means that you can ignore the update, and do not have to apply it until that "period" is up. How fine the "period" is, it's not clear from any source. You can see the edit in my answer for a clarification on how to join the "CBB" or current business branch.– dark_st3althCommented Jan 17, 2017 at 7:37

Thanks but I still can't tell from this information, or ( technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/manage/…) what exactly "defer" means and whether it means I can schedule updates. I can't possibly be the only person here who uses Windows for intensive production work and runs his PC's overnight. (the name of this StackExchange site is "SuperUser" so I assume people here are not casual home users) What do other intensive users do in practice to avoid update problems with Windows 10?– user316117Commented Jan 18, 2017 at 1:08

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
