    GPO - Windows Update - Always installs immediately regardless of setting


    In Windows 11 23H2, and Windows 11 24H2, we have a GPO configured to download updates automatically from our WSUS server, but not to instal, only to notify. However it always installs, no matter what configuration I have tried. The same behaviour is observed with using Windows Update instead of WSUS, so I assuming this is either a change in behaviour in Windows 11, or some option I have configured which is overriding the GPO somehow.Windows computers are activated with Enterprise licenses.Below are the settings I currently have configured from the Windows Update option:Windows Components/Win
