Windows 11 no drop-down for Pause updates, registry edit not working
There’s no drop-down arrow for Pause updates on Windows 11. I edited FlightSettingsMaxPauseDays in registry but still no luck. Looking for fix.

On Windows 11, Microsoft changed how some update settings are managed, and in many cases, the "Pause updates" options in the Settings interface are limited or not directly available through a drop-down menu.
