Windows 10: Win-10 Update issue and Group Policy

Hello,

Had followed a tutorial on this forum and installed Win-10 and set up Data Partition on D:\.

Did Win-10 update v.1803 some time back and got the following error:
Update for Windows Defender antimalware platform - KB4052623 (Version 4.18.1809.2)
Failed to install on ‎10/‎8/‎2018 - 0x8024001e

Clicking on the above (it was a link) led me to:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...lware-platform

that mentions:
Because of a change in the file path location in the update, many downloads are blocked when AppLocker is enabled. To work around this issue, open Group Policy, and then change the setting to Allow for the following path:%OSDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\*


Any ideas how to do the above? Detailed steps?

Thanks,

:)

 

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.

 

Win 10 Anniversary, automatic updates & Group Policy Settings


Hello, I've just installed KB3176929. Now I am running Windows 10 Education v1607, b14393.10.

Almost everything it's fine despite "Windows Update Settings" *Mad.

In the past I've used Local Group Policy Editor​ to tweak the settings and make Windows notify me when I need some update, without downloading or installing anything.

Now, in gpedit the relevant policy is still correct:




The problem is that in the Update section, under Settings it shows the following:




So it's clearly stated that download and installation will be executed without user intervention.
Also Active hours button is also displayed, but I have never had this before Anniversary update.


Before this update my Update Settings screen was similar to this one:




What I have already tried to get back the previous behavior:

1. set the policy Configure auto updates to not configured
2. shut down and power up
3. set the policy Configure auto updates to enabled & 2 = Notify before...
4. manually checked for update
5. reboot

I did not succeed.

Is this policy still applicable to Win 10 Edu?
Have you any suggestions?

Many thanks

P.S.: I am wondering if disabling active hours from registry can help or not.
