Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In Windows 11 you can pause updates for specific periods of time, but since it is a Windows system I would recommend that instead of pausing or disabling updates you set them to run at a specific date/time range so the OS stays current. Nothing is more frustrating than a game that fails to run because of a missed system update.
