SOLVED Cannot change Windows update settings - "Some settings are managed by your organisation"

[windy10]

Notice today that windows has not been Auto updating or updating Drivers because of "Some settings are managed by your organisation"

Is this something MS has now control of or where can I get control to change the update settings as I want them.

Hi windy10,

what version of Win 10 do you have?, an upgrade may help solve the problem!. The current version is 2009 (AKA: 20H2).

Have you tried upgrading as I suggested?.

Check Group Policy to see if Windows Update has been disabled.

OK, thanks for your replies.

I have tried several online remdies as suggested online sites for the issue *Some settings are managed by your organisation
Many of the suggestions whether in the Registry, Services, Gp policy and Settings etc. many are not as featured are seen in my windows or not changeable being greyed out.

Its been suggested to update to the latest Windows which I have done on my daughters laptop some weeks ago where she had the Home version. But my version is Pro.

If I did upgrade to the latest Windows, will I still have the Pro version.

thanks

Yes....but since your version is 1909.....you might want to think about doing a clean install of the OS. Try going with the upgrade path first.

Go here and click on the "update now" button.

That's a fact. Also, tweaking in the registry or group policy, is, imo, responsible for quite a few of Windows difficulties as posted on forums.

Keep in mind. also, that hacks/tweaks, only last as long as the major updates.

Hi,
Thanks all for suggestions, but none of them worked.
I updated to the latest Windows with no change with the issue.
I tried several sugestions with reg, gpedit etc. No joy with them, some suggested methods were not in the registry or even if added still nothing. Same for gpedit, suugested made no change and some were not seen/listed.

Googled the issue and found this method which to have cured the issue.

"Some settings are managed by your organisation", according to the information panel through GP, but no GP is set

I keep seeing the message of "Some settings are managed by your organisation" in windows update and other locations in the Settings panel. According to the information provided in the "Why are you

But what worries me, where did this control originate. I'm running Malwarebytes and Defender with regular scans etc.
