Microsoft always releases some updates including security patches and features updates to bring stability to the operating system and optimize your system. If you haven’t installed these updates, Microsoft always reminds you, which is very annoying. Also, how annoying is when you constantly get a reminder about the same update!
This situation usually happens if Windows Update fails to install updates successfully and the system cannot detect the installed or partially installed updates. But sometimes the system automatically installs the same updates as soon as you restart the PC even though there is a successful Windows update installation.
When a Windows 10 quality update is ready, it will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer. Besides, when your Windows 10 version reaches the end of the support period, Windows will begin to automatically download and install the feature update on your PC.

There are some changes including the Windows 10 feature updates settings. Since Windows 10 May 2020 Update (Windows 10 version 2004), Microsoft has overhauled the Windows 10 update system: the feature update deferral has been canceled.

Microsoft has announced this change in its documentation for power users and IT pros in June. Windows 10 version 2004 and the newer version will not allow you to delay Windows 10 features updates via Settings to “prevent confusion”.

Since Windows 10, Microsoft introduces “Windows as a Service” (WaaS) as its new servicing model. It means that you will get incremental updates which can speed up the new features’ integration and simplify the process of keeping machines current in a fast-paced digital world.
As a result, now, there are two kinds of Windows 10 updates: “features updates” and “quality updates”. Both of these twp updates are important. However, the sets and times of improvements they deliver are different.
