Can't Turn Toggle Switch On, In Update Options Advanced Settings

That option also won't toggle on my system. Not worried. Waiting until the next update.

@jamis

This is odd, because Brink says that this is an "old" issue.
It can't be that old, this option wasn't in the last build.
I could be wrong about the option not being in previous/last build,
but I never noticed this behavior before and I didn't notice it in the build previous to 1803.

Still having this issue, within the Update Options Advanced Settings.

Same. Upgraded 1803 to 1809, hoping this would be fixed. It's not.

@Forceflow

I can confirm, that this is also still not working for me as well, after the 1809 update.

I'm on Windows 10 home.
One unmetered ethernet connection (wired).
My other adapter is a Virtualbox adapter, disabled, also unmetered.

So as far as I can understand, this option would be useless for me anyway, and I should get automatic updates.

System otherwise running fine - no event log warnings about this, and SFC and DISM check no problemo's.

On my laptop (Win 10 pro), I don't have this problem and the button toggles fine.
On a different desktop, which runs Win 10 Education (basicly pro), the options screen is all different, so no comparison can be made.

Did you try "Option Four" in Brink's tutorial? That's a different regkey, which I don't have atm.

No.
There shouldn't be a need to go into the registry to do this.
The toggle either works, or it shouldn't be an option.

I have come to believe that W10 Home does not have this option, period. Hence, that is why it won't "stick". I have been struggling with WU not automatically downloading cumulative updates, even though it checks for updates every day. I have another thread in this forum that chronicles my experience with WU. It seems that WU (in Home editions) will only automatically download updates if they contain security related patches. It will download any updates for your system if you run it manually though. Incidentally, I'm scared silly about the impending 1809 update. Making multiple backups of the system image, repair disk, and user files on media that are not connected to this system normally.

@jamis

I updated to 1809 without any issues, using the Windows 10 Update Assistant.

Not an option I use, but just checked and it won't stay on for my either (Win10 Home 1809)
