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.

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.
