Windows 10: How do I force updates using group policy?

We've been attempting to deploy windows updates for a while now and we're down to a small but substantial group of stragglers. I made a secondary group policy to enforce to finish off the last of the users who needed updates but even though their group policies are up to date the updates will download but not install automatically. What am I missing in the settings? I have Configure Automatic Updates set to option 3 - Auto download and notify for install every day at noonI have Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation enabledWhat other settings should I focus on?The current AD machi

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.
