Solution: Windows 10 update "Pause" only 3 days

Recently Windows 10 stopped offering up to a month to pause updates. I went  to Settings > Updates > Advanced Options > Pause Updates - choose any date.  Suddenly it offered only 4 dates. I chose one which wasn't too helpful but it primed the setting for a solution!  (Microsoft help was very complicated and confusing.) I had experienced this problem before so decided to share a simple solution.

1. Go back to "Updates" and select "Resume Updates". (this clears the pause setting)

2. Immediately go to > Advanced Options > Pause updates. 

Select the drop-down list (you can now see all the dates you need). Select a date and you're done.
