#### Defer an update
A Windows Update for Business administrator can defer the installation of both feature and quality updates from deploying to devices within a bounded range of time from when those updates are first made available on the Windows Update service. You can use this deferral to allow time to validate deployments as they are pushed to devices. Deferrals work by allowing you to specify the number of days after an update is released before it is offered to a device. That is, if you set a feature update deferral period of 365 days, the device will not install a feature update that has been released for less than 365 days. To defer feature updates, use the **Select when Preview Builds and feature updates are Received** policy.
