In a blog post, Windows Corporate Vice President Michael Fortin previewed the update window that users will see, which features buttons for “Restart now,” “Pick a time,” and “Snooze.” These will allow you to proceed to the Creators Update immediately, schedule it for later or snooze the message, pausing the process for three days.

The post doesn’t note if users will get to hit the snooze button multiple times, but that’s likely the case.

Windows 10 Creators Update will include new sharing capabilities, Paint 3D, additional support for Hololens and VR, as well as Game Mode, increased privacy settings and tab management improvements to Edge. As an editor at Laptop Mag said, “if you hit Snooze, you lose these features” (at least for three days).
