#### Defer an update
A Windows Update for Business administrator can defer both feature and quality updates from deploying to client devices within a bounded range of time from when those updates are first made available on the Windows Update service. This deferral allows you time to validate deployments as they are pushed to client devices configured for Windows Update for Business. Deferrals work by allowing you to specify the number of days after an update is released before it is offered to a device (if you set a feature update deferral period of 365 days, the client will not take a feature update that has been released for less than 365 days).

#### Pause an update
If you discover a problem while deploying a feature or quality Update, an IT Administrator has the ability to pause the update for 35 days to prevent other devices from taking the problematic update until the issue is mitigated. If feature updates are paused, quality updates will still be offered to devices to ensure they stay in a secure state. The pause period for both feature and quality updates is calculated from the set start date. For more details, see [Pause feature updates](waas-configure-wufb.md#pause-feature-updates) and [Pause quality updates](waas-configure-wufb.md#pause-quality-updates).
