    As KB4023057 is not uninstallable, it can possibly undo all efforts to control updates.

    I don't know what you've done via group policy to "control updates"
    @Callender
    Good question.
    1. I used this From: dalchina [Notify of availability of an update]
    Update tips
    and I (thought) I confirmed no changes from "Current Windows Update Settings Managed Organization.JPG" attached.

    2. But returning to Group Policy Editor it appears the settings have changed and I cannot see a way to return to "#2"; see: "Cannot get back to this window.JPG" attached.

    3. My choices are limited to "0" and "1"; see "Current Group Policy Win Update Settings Allowed Changes.JPG" attached.
    ~
    So my thinking is to Uninstall "Microsoft Update Health Tools" first, then return to Group Policy Editor to make the changes.
    Do you agree?
    Thank you

    Well I don't have group policy editor on Windows 10 Home so I can't use it.

    Check:

    View Configured Update Policies in Windows 10

    And:

    See Applied Group Policies in Windows 10

    Personally I'd check:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

    If you see any subkey - export it (right click the subkey and save it somewhere)

    Then delete it.

    Don't delete WindowsUpdate key. Just check for subkeys and if found backup then delete them.

    @Callender

    Using two of your suggestions:
    "See Applied Group Policies in Windows 10" (Brink) & "Check Registry" details (Callender),
    I could see and verify my Windows Update Group Policy Settings remain unchanged.

    That takes me back to the pesky KB4023057 and the "Microsoft Update Health Tools" program it installed.
    Can anyone advise if uninstalling "Microsoft Update Health Tools" - as @Sniggler has done - might create any issues?

    Thanks to all who read/comment on this post!

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
    It has nothing on my Windows 10 Home.

    KB4023057 is the installer for 'Microsoft Update Health Tools'. It's completely unnecessary for most people and there was one version of it in the past that broke the classic disk cleanup.

    Uninstall should be painless and won't need a restart, or so it was in the past.

    KB4023057 and "Microsoft Update Health Tools" was installed on three machines August 25. I deleted MUHT that day and since then, no apparent problems. FYI.

    Never have I installed "KB4023057" and "Microsoft Update Health Tools". So far, so good.
