Windows Update, some settings are managed by your system administrator

article #1186, updated 2389 days ago

If Windows Updates says it’s controlled by system administration and not you, check all three of these:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate 
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

You’ll probably see a DWORD preventing access. Delete it and try again.
