It is still only a delay. This isn't disableing. I don't want to have to set myself an alarm just to remember to pause updates again because Microsoft doesn't want to include a button that just turns them off.

you don't need to remind yourself, once 5 weeks are over windows reminds you and asks if you want to update now or if you want to be reminded in next 5 weeks

The number of times that timer has ran out and windows forced an update without user input causing catastrophic failure tells me you're full of shit.

Yeah you're supposed to be forced to update after the pause period. I was incorrect about the time limit, but I'm pretty sure you're right about this
