Spring & Fall Update Issues (Win10 Pro)

Superfly said:

FWIW.. I too had all kinds of strange issues with an upgrade to FCU... Clean installed and all good. Still, I don't get this tho' -- btw I don't mess with Gpedit -- but have this "managed by your organization" crap
....Just to be clear... I'm not on Insider and this is not a mobile device - Updates are not blocked.

This particular 'managed...' message with the 'view configured update policies' link beneath it is triggered if curiosity ever got the better of you and...

... You ticked the Policy box for '...automatically download updates, even on metered connections...' in the Advanced Options, didn't you? This policy also appears in Home...



That creates a policy, and unticking doesn't remove it, it just set the policy to the default behaviour as if the policy wasn't in place. It's a different sort of policy, it's not a Group Policy so gpedit is unlikely to help. Its a Mobile Device Management policy.

Oddly, it is only Pro that has this problem, Home doesn't say 'managed...' however many times you tick the box. For this particular problem...

...the way to remove the Some settings are managed by your organization message is to:

1. untick the policy box first

2. delete AllowAutoWindowsUpdateDownloadOverMeteredNetwork in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings

3. check for updates.

...and never, ever, tick that box again :)

I'll definitely keep this in mind but....
Oddly enough I never had the 'managed' thing in Windows Updates or Advanced Options in Windows Updates....

That particular 'managed' thing (and the registry item that goes with it) only appear when you first tick the Policy box for '...automatically download updates, even on metered connections...' in the Advanced Options (and only in Pro, Home doesn't seem to do it).

...The 'managed' thing was in all sorts of other settings...

It's always a Group Policy (or the registry settings that go with one) that causes them. The policy must be 'unconfigured' (ie. the registry key deleted) for them to go away. The difficult bit is to track down exactly which registry setting need deleting. Almost impossible without a guide to tell you where to look - this one perhaps...

The only 'managed' thing I'm seeing now (that I am aware of) is in Feedback & diagnostics an that's no big deal an not sure I care to have what that entails an what comes with it...to me it's all about advertising or selling it to advertisers.

I think I know that one...

...having set it myself. You can try it yourself to see the effects. Create the DWORD AllowTelemetry with the value 0 in... Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection

This adds the red message (complete with the '*') in Settings > Privacy > Feedback & diasgnostics and greys out the 'Select how much data you send to Microsoft' options. This registry setting will be retained after an in-place upgrade, either to the same version or upgrading to Creators (I know, having done both). Delete AllowTelemetry and that setting page returns to normal.

You're welcome, tazmo. Not sure if I was much help, though. Bree is a sharp as a tack. :)

Good luck to you.
