### Manage which updates are offered
Windows Update for Business offers you the ability to turn on or off both driver and Microsoft product updates.
- Drivers (on/off): When "on," this policy will not include drivers with Windows Update.
- Microsoft product updates (on/off): When "on" this policy will install udpates for other Microsoft products.

Prior to Windows 10, version 1903, there are two channels for released updates: Semi-annual Channel and Semi-annual Channel (Targeted). Deferral days are calculated against the release date of the chosen channel. Starting with Windows 10, version 1903 there is only the one release channel: Semi-annual Channel. All deferral days will be calculated against a release’s Semi-annual Channel release date. To see release dates, visit [Windows Release Information](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/release-information/). You can set the branch readiness level by using the **Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are Received** policy. In order to use this to manage pre-release builds, first enable preview builds by using the **Manage preview Builds** policy.
### Recommendations
For the best experience with Windows Update, follow these guidelines:
- Use devices for at least 6 hours per month, including at least 2 hours of continuous use.
- Keep devices regularly charged. Plugging in devices overnight enables them to automatically update outside of active hours.
- Make sure that devices have at least 10 GB of free space.
- Give devices unobstructed access to the Windows Update service.
