Just as FYI - although I also had serious problems attempting to update to earlier versions of 24H2, the March version installed smoothly and has been running without incident.
Anyway to not update to 24H2 but still get security updates?

Hey, I have a question about windows Update, is there anyway to stay on 23h2 but still get security updates without upgrading to 24h2 automatically I just have updates pauzed for now but I still want security patches, I've heard there have been a lot of issues on 24h2 so thought id ask. Also other updates just not 24H2

2025-01-19T22:54:13+00:00 that is unfortunate! - using feedback hub is a more formal way to provide feedback IMO. These web forums capture sentiment and dialog and interactions between people and sure they can be data mined but none of that is substitute for formal feedback. ;-) (i have found using co pilot to help me re-write the feedback can help turn the frustrations into clear words) Even with the change in policy there are cases it should not update, when the group policy is applied. Ask Co as in COPILOT about the group policy to stick to 23H2. Generally the 24H2 update is a good thing and brings much goodness, in those cases that not a shared sentiment all around , (i get it sometimes you just need to get some work done with what you have that is working, and sometimes the update motions are disruptive or have bugs - and rollback is frequently an option but not always in every case for everything perfectly working) == the group policy is intended to give you the power to defer the update.
