ashish1989 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Guys I work in a company, I have a windows 10 laptop given by the organization in which windows 10 Pro is installed. My question is my windows is always up to date whenever I check windows update section. No popup of update comes on my screen, I am curious how is it possible? If it is, can the same be done on my personal laptop without disturbing me for updating the windows from time to time. Looking forward to hearing back from experts.

When you go to the Window Update tab do you see this message at top left: "*Some settings are managed by your organization". That could be the reason. Meaning that they have set the updates to be downloaded and applied without any user interaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"*Some settings are managed by your organization" You are right, I always see that. Can we apply the same settings in our personal laptop too, as it is so annoying to see the notification of restart after every few days and doing this is good for us or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group policy Computer configuration > Administrative templates > Windows components > Windows Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, waking up the PC and put it back to sleep mode depends on your power setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you can set it to put it back to sleep or shuts it down afterward I do not know. Why don't you copy your Windows Update setting from your work PC to your personal PC? That should solve the problem, if you have the same power setting as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just matter of setting the install and reboot time, maybe let's say "on next boot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnit Rus Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Updates are often not of high quality. why allow automatic installation? I do not understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apply that and set the apply time for "next reboot" via Group Policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israeli_Eagle Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Besides that nowadays I strongly recommend good backups before update or at least daily Restore points! Best backup software is here: @T3rM1nat0Rr3: Any clue why that displays as pic HWiNFO64?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3rM1nat0Rr3 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 @Israeli_Eagle Very strange. I've not a clue why that image should be showing. @Matt Can you take a look at why a background image that doesn't belong has been added to the code in the post above this. For some unknown reason, this is in the code: Quote <a href="https://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/365177-macrium-reflect-724744/" style="background-image: url( "https://www.nsaneforums.com/uploads/monthly_2020_02/sshot-1.png.43664cdf1e5a058ff8fe7afbb0582de1.png" )" target="_blank"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually the "Windows Update" folder under the "Windows Components" path that includes all the configurations. I will make the correction to the original post to be more precise.

patrickdrd Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 is any of the methods above apply to wsus updates as well? I've got a problem with updates for months and my admins aren't fixing it, so I would love to block them (in order to avoid this undoing changes after every restart - one solution I've found is to hibernate each time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
