The Turn off access to all Windows Update features machine setting should be configured correctly. This setting allows you to remove access to Windows Update. If you enable this setting, all Windows Update features are removed. This includes blocking access to the Windows Update Web site at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com, from the Windows Update hyperlink on the Start menu, and also on the Tools menu in Internet Explorer. Windows automatic updating is also disabled; you will neither be notified about nor will you receive critical updates from Windows Update. This setting also prevents Device Manager from automatically installing driver updates from the Windows Update Web site. If you disable or do not configure this setting, users will be able to access the Windows Update Web site and enable automatic updating to receive notifications and critical updates from Windows Update. Fix: (1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings\Turn off access to all Windows Update features (2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\DisableWindowsUpdateAccess
