• Win10 getting forced from 1511 to 1607 in spite of group policy settings

    Posted on January 24, 2017 at 09:59 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    I’ve seen this mentioned many times in the past two days. This from Mike:

    We have a groups of PCs that were on 1511 and we had added the registry entries to defer updates. And now these PCs are getting the 1607 Upgrade.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
    “DeferUpgrade”=dword:00000001
    “DeferUpgradePeriod”=dword:00000008
    “DeferOSUpgrade”=dword:00000001
    “PauseDeferrals”=dword:00000001

    In 1507 the Defer Upgrade was checked and greyed out. After the upgrade the Defer feature Updates is greyed out and we can’t get it ungreyed.

    We removed the registry entries, we tried the new GP settings and still Defer feature updates stays greys out.

    These PCs are NOT part of a domain.

    Any way to remedy this issue?
