Windows 10: Systems With Group Policy Disallowing Updates Directly From Microsoft Updating from 1909 to...

Hello, recently I've been assigned a case by my organization to research as to why our systems have been updating from 1909 to 2004. We have excluded that it is a false positive from the software we use that reports Windows build versions for us. We have excluded that group policy has somehow come undone by confirming that the group policy is in place that should prevent this from happening These systems should only be receiving updates from intranet WSUS. We have considered the possibility of dual scan behavior and have eliminated that as a possibility as well. There is nothing relevant in any logs we have captured from these systems, either. I'm looking for guidance as to how this can happen. We cannot exclude the fact that even though the previous items have been checked that there may have been some break down of group policy somewhere bet that still begs the question as to how that could have occurred. Furthermore, I am neither the DA or have access to GPMC. I can only exist as as an advisor in that capacity.


I appreciate any help rendered.

Windows 10 error: "Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client service. Please consult your system administrator"

Hi Rico,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with accessing the operating system.

Do let us know the following to assist you better:

• Which edition of Windows Operating System are you using?
• What all the troubleshooting steps have you performed?
• Have you installed all the pending updates on your Operating System?
• Have you installed any third-party anti-virus software on your system?

I suggest you to try few of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

I suggest you to Stop the Group Policy service, restart and set it to Automatic.

Group Policy Client service, this service is responsible for applying settings configured by administrators for the computers and users through the Group Policy component. If the service
is disabled the settings will be applied and applications and components will not be manageable through Group Policy.

Step 1: Stop the Group Policy Client service.

• Press Windows Key + R on the keyboard and type
  services.msc, Services window gets opened.
• Search for Group Policy Client service, right click on it and click on
  Stop.
• Restart the computer.

Step 2: Start the service and set it to automatic:

• Press Windows Key + R on the keyboard and type
  services.msc, Services window gets opened.
• Search for Group Policy Client service, right click on it and click on
  Properties.
• Start the service, set
  Startup type to Automatic.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.
