When I had Win 10, and I paused updates for a week, my machine would wait a week and then update, the way you would expect it to. But with Win 11 (25H2) on the same machine (Dell), when I pause updates for a week, as soon as I turn off my computer, it automatically updates anyway. And when I go to the update window, it shows that the updates are still paused, even though it was just updated. And when I then un-pause the updates, it checks for updates and tells me that my machine is "up to date". Why is this happening and how can I change it?

How can it update when you turn it off? I guess you mean the setting is forgotten?
