    "Notify for download & Notify for install" missing - GPEDIT


    Recently did a fresh install of Win10 Spring update.I'm accustomed to using option (2) in Group Policy Editor which lets Windows notify me to download updates and notify me to install them once downloaded. However, this no longer seems to be an option as the only thing i can see is "Notify for download and auto install". This means that when I click the check for downloads button in Windows Update, updates are installed automatically. It used to wait for me to click "Install" after doing that.

    Does anyone know what happened to the option "Notify for download and notify for install"? How can I get this behavior back?

    Edit: Also, what's the difference between disabling this policy and the last option- letting local admin choose?

    Notify before installing Windows updates - Windows 10

    Hello,

    Thanks for posting your query to Microsoft forum. I will certainly help you with this.

    I appreciate your feedback on this matter. I understand that you would like to get a notification before installing the updates. Keeping that convenience under consideration, the option has already been provided in Windows settings.

    Please check the settings:

    Method 1:

    • Click the Windows key on the keyboard.
    • Go to Setting
    • Click on Update & security > Advanced options.
    • Under Choose how updates are installed use the scroll to change Automatic (recommended) to
      Notify to schedule restart.

    Method 2:

    • Press Windows key on the keyboard or click on the search bar.
    • Type Edit Group Policy
    • Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates
      > All Settings > Configure Automatic Updates.
    • Under Configure automatic updating, Click on Edit policy settings.
    • Click on Select Enabled option.
    • Select second option labelled Notify for download and notify for install. Don’t make any changes in rest of the settings.
    Hope this information is helpful. If the issue still persists, please post back for further assistance, we'll be glad to assist you.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Is there any way to be notified of a Windows update?

    OK, I set to be notified before any updates are downloaded and installed.

    Thanks for your help.
