Windows Update Group Policy removed but still can’t run updates

group-policywsus

I've had the Group Policy removed from my account, and from my local machine so that I can run Windows Updates on my computer rather than waiting for them from the Administrators.

But even with all this removed it still blocks the updates and says they are managed by the Administrator.

The Ops aren't sure why it's not working.

How can I figure out what's wrong?!?

Delete the following reg keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer -> NoWindowsUpdate

This should remove all restrictions. Make sure that GPO really does not apply to you anymore.
