Windows Update - Defer Feature and Quality Updates in Windows 10

Yes I I looked at the regeditor and if you uncheck the "defer upgrades box" the dword value changes back to 0.

What I need is a way to lock this setting to defer upgrades so that a user doesn't accidentally/on purpose change it.

Thanks for your help and quick response BTW.

If you have Windows 10 Pro installed, you could set the group policy below for this.

You're most welcome. :)

This tutorial has been updated for OPTION ONE and OPTION TWO. :)

Hello Steve, :)

It looks like your "Defer feature updates" setting has been disabled by a group policy instead.

You might check the location below in the Local Group Policy Editor to see if you may have one enabled instead of "Not configured".

That is odd. Is the box checked after using Option 4 even though still grayed out?

Most definitely shouldn't.
