Windows 10: Group Policy - Windows Update issue

Hi, I work for a university and we have our own WSUS server. My GPO gets the Windows Updates from this WSUS. Some of our computers download and install the updates but some of them need to be manually started to Download or Install. Please see the attached screenshots. I am also attaching the part of the GPO that details the instructions. It says "Download" It says "Install" Thanks in advance!

I understand the inconvenience you are facing as with error: Couldn't connect to windows group policy service, we will help you with this issue.

Do let us know when exactly you received this error code?

GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

• Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
  
• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  

After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

Regards.

 

Windows Domain Group Policy

The computers are fairly old and redirecting to the server is better. I forced group policy too update. I ended up figuring out the problem it was a permissions issue... imagine that. But I am having other problems such has setting the local administrator password, and I want to create some shortcuts on the desktop for all the users. Edit: it misdirects but now I cant write in the folder.. : /

Ok now I have that issue fixed *Big Grin But still am having other issues with loading the other group policy problems
