## Safeguard holds
Microsoft uses diagnostic data to determine whether devices that use Windows Update are ready for a feature update in order to ensure a smooth experience. When Microsoft determines a device is not ready to update due to a known issue, a *compatibility hold* is generated to delay the device's upgrade and safeguard the end-user experience. Holds are released over time as diagnostic data is analyzed and fixes are addressed. Details are provided on some, but not all compatibility holds on the Windows 10 release information page for any given release.
Microsoft uses diagnostic data to determine whether devices that use Windows Update are ready for a feature update in order to ensure a smooth experience. When Microsoft determines a device is not ready to update due to a known issue, a *safeguard hold* is generated to delay the device's upgrade and protect the end-user experience. Holds are released over time as diagnostic data is analyzed and fixes are addressed. Details are provided on some, but not all safeguard holds on the Windows 10 release information page for any given release.

### Opting out of safeguard hold
Microsoft will release a device from a safeguard hold when it has determined it can safely and smoothly install a feature update, but you are ultimately in control of your devices and can opt out if desired. To opt out, set the registry key **HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\502505fe-762c-4e80-911e-0c3fa4c63fb0** to a name of **DataRequireGatedScanForFeatureUpdates** and a value of **0**.

Setting this registry key to **0** will force the device to opt out from *all* safeguard holds. Any other value, or deleting the key, will resume compatibility protection on the device.
