    Windows 10 20H2 - automatically checking for updates although it's disabled


    Hi,we just started to update some of our 1909 Windows devices to 20H2. Since we are using SCCM, we don't want devices to check online for updates, so we disabled that via GPO. It all worked as it should before, but for devices that run 20H2, although the GPOs apply without error and the registry keys show they are applied, the devices check for updates.Why is that? How can we stop that? What are we missing? Can anybody help?

    :)
