The further explains that the issue could be due to Dual Scanning which takes place when the Configure Automatic Updates option is enabled and the Defer Upgrades and Updates option is disabled. When the Defer Upgrades and Updates configuration is turned off, Windows tends to skip Windows Server Update Services and scans for updates in Windows Updates sites, in the process bypassing WSUS approvals. That is because using the client side options to schedule upgrades and feature updates switches the client to Windows Update for Business. Maybe I messed up with the Windows Update Policy? [I checked] the policy settings, nothing changed, GP Update and RSOP.MSC says the policy is updated and applied. Checked the registry to my machine under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate” and “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU” and everything is alright. As a bonus, our VPN Client from Check Point is not compatible.”

Solution

To solve the issue, the user offered the following solution (under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update):

Enable “Configure Automatic Updates” option Enable “Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations” Leave the “Defer Upgrades and Updates” as “Not Configured”

Note, however, that enabling the “Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations” policy affects the Windows Store and other modern apps. The configuration blocks Windows from contacting the Windows Update public servers and hides the option “Check Microsoft for Updates” from the Windows Update Client in Windows 10. So, keep this in mind while performing the workaround. RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
