| Sep 16, 2022 at 12:27 | comment | added | anon | There were some provisos in the article you posted. (a) Restart must occur for the updates to take affect; (b) other app updates cannot be processed in this state; (c) I think (not certain) that you would have to activate this policy prior to updates getting in this state. | |

There is no time limit. If group policies are not available, there are equivalent registry settings. In the case of the OP, W10 Pro, policies are indeed available. | |
