Skip to next step

Is there a way to skip to the next step during a deployment. We created a sleep step so that during Windows updates it won't try to launch the next update or software install while Windows is doing the xx% completed thing. It would be nice to skip the step manually if Windows finishes faster than expected.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hey Shaun, there is no step logic that would allow for a step to be skipped based on the speed a previous step is completed. Instead of a discrete sleep step, you could write the install/update step as a PowerShell step. That way you may be able to more accurately tell when the process is done and move on to the next step at a more reasonable pace.

Start-Process with a -Wait flag would do the trick I think:
```
-Wait
Indicates that this cmdlet waits for the specified process to complete before accepting more input. This parameter suppresses the
command prompt or retains the window until the process finishes.
```

Is there any easy way to manually skip step on running deployment?

No, running deployments cannot be altered.
