How to Uninstall WuMgr
I few weeks ago I installed WuMgr and its been working well. Today it showed the Windows 11 Update was available. But after it was downloaded and doing the restart that was called for nothing happened. The Windows 11 update did not run.
So, I thought I'd simply uninstall WuMgr and try the update through Window Update. Sadly, I was unable to figure out how to disable WuMgr and enable Windowes Update. Simply deleting the WuMgr folder didn't work. I found advice to use gpefit.msc to make the following group policy edits:
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Settings Page Visibility to Disabled and changing User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Show Only Specified Control Pane Items to Disabled.
But when I did this and rebooted not only did the Windows Updates page fail to appear in Settings but the entire Setting menu was missing. What did I do wrong?
Update:
Well, here's what I did wrong. In WuMgr, I should have simply unselected "Disable Automatic Updates" and then checked to be sure that the "Hide WU Setting Page" box was no longer checked. When I did that and reboot then the normal Windows Update options came back. A serious case not taking a deep breath and reading all the menu items.
