Was 'Pause updates' giving that message *before you (tried to?) chance the setting? If so, something/somebody must have set it, because normally there is no message and the button says 'Pause for 1 week \/', where '\/' is the down arrow which opens the other choices. BUT, Windows Update probably checks when the last update was done, because I said you could delay updates for 4 weeks, while I was sure that one could set it to 5 weeks. And lo and behold, today, *after* yesterday's 'Check for updates', it's indeed back to upto 5 weeks. Anyway, you can get out of the dead-lock by disconnecting from the network, clicking 'Check for updates' (which of course will give an error because there is no network) and reconnecting to the network. Then the 'Pause for 1 week \/' button is no longer greyed out. Of course now the system is back to normal and will regularly check for updates and hence 'eat' data.
