Windows 10: cannot change windows update settings

I tried to change the windows update settings and I can’t!!!!!
I get a message saying that some settings are managed by my system administrator!!!!!
I am the only user in this laptop with administrator privileges…

How comes that I can’t change the settings?

:)

 

Cannot change update settings - Win10

Ah, I see, I do hope it's not a malware... but anyway, I'm not really sure which key or GPO you mean, so sorry if what I'm doing is incorrect....

I tried finding options in the gpedit based on what I know, is this what you mean?





If so, how long does it take for the new setting to take effect? I remember setting that to "Not Configured" before, but nothing happened even after a restart. :/

And if not, could you kindly tell me which key I need to modify?

Thank you for your patience.

1."Some settings are managed by your organization" shows up when you use either a Group policy edit or a registry edit to get more control over the updates.

See:

How to get more control over Windows update in Windows 10

2.Delete the key/remove the GPO edit to get drop down enabled.

Give that a try.

 

I don't think you can while on the TP

I am sure I read that updates are compulsory so you cannot change the options

During the Technical Preview the Windows Update option cannot be turned off. See number 8 here 10 Things You Should Know Before Installing Windows 10 Technical Preview

 

The registry hack in the article I linked to appears to work. At least, the drop down menu is available.

 

Sure you can. Since I want to know what is being updated instead of letting Windows silently installs it.

 

So are MS lying when they say, I haven't tried to turn them off, not in win 10 at the moment to try, my above comments where just what I read about it

Notes

• • Windows Update will be set to automatically install important updates as they become available. You won’t be able to turn off automatic updates in Windows Technical Preview.

 

with a preview/beta, for once I WANT them to control it.

 

Thanks... It did the job!

 

Is it now not possible to change the settings?
I have tried both methods mentioned in the above linked article but still no drop down menu in the Windows Updates section even though the settings in both areas show that the option to change the settings (option 5) are set.

Anyone?

 

Has no one tried this in 10??

 

Just ran admi sfc /scannow and it did not find any problems. I cannot get the screen up that they are showing to control windows update. All I get is the windows upgrade line and it says retry.
