How to permanently delay installation of all future Windows Updates by a set amount of time

Hi,

Is there some way where I can delay the installation of All Windows updates in the future, by say 2 weeks?

 

I run my Windows 10 computer 24/7.  I do not turn it off at night.

 

I have many programs and many documents open at all times. 

 

When Windows shuts down my desktop to perform and install updates, some of these programs crash, and many encrypted documents are shut down when not saved (by me), and this causes a lot of unwanted work to restore these.

 

Furthermore, Microsoft seems to release updates with bugs often, that then need to be fixed by another update after a number of days or weeks, again causing more work due to programs being shutdown and documents being closed.

 

I don’t want to have to go in when each Update is released… and have to delay it manually by 2 weeks.

 

I want to be able to delay All Future Updates by say 2 weeks.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks in advance,

Dave
