📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses whether users can disable feature updates while still receiving security updates in Windows 10 v2004. The original poster questions if it's possible to disable feature updates independently, and a respondent clarifies that security updates are separate from feature upgrades but that Windows 10 support ends after 18 months of a release. When asked specifically about blocking security services through tools, the reply is that security updates will not be delivered if those services are disabled.

Users cannot (at least in v2004) allow Quality=Security Updates but disable Feature updates (=to next major release).

Is this correct?

Yes and no. The updates themselves are independent of the upgrades (1909, 2004 etc); however, each release of Windows 10 is only supported for 18 months at which point you need to upgrade to continue receiving patches.

That was not an answer to my question.
Ok, I ask in another way:

If I disable Security Service(s) (with e.g. Sordum Windows Update Blocker tool) :
Will the Quality/Security Updates delivered or not?
