Hi, have you seen this?
Cannot set option to include Office updates in Windows Updates - Microsoft Community

Would require the equivalent registry setting if using Win 10 Home as that doesn't have the GP editor.

I would expect that to be a different issue as that post claims that Advanced Settings (in its entirety) is greyed out, not just the checkbox for getting other Microsoft updates for which this post is based. By all means if you follow through let me know if it works.

btw are you part of or using the "windows insider program" when you having this windows update feature locked?

What is "windows insider program" ?
@dalchina, will take a look, thanks!

What is "windows insider program" ?

Windows Insider - Wikipedia
= becoming an unpaid Windows beta tester receiving new test builds with possible bugs.
= MS sacked a load of QA staff, and now relies a lot on the public and feedback.

At one point I was indeed signed up for it, however due to a bad experience I turned off receiving fast track builds. With that said now that I'm on Anniversary update, if I go into the Insider Preview settings, it appears I am not configured as all I can do is "Get Started".
