AskWoody PlusMarch 21, 2025 at 3:14 pm in reply to: Windows Update says that “some settings are managed by your organization” #2757396Update to 22H2 is made. A pop up arrived asking me to update. Ran it and 22H2 is now installed.
The note in Updates that “Some setting are managed by your organization” is still there. I would like to make that go away so I can run updates normally.
Thank you all for your help.

I hope the note that an admin had to do it goes away.

I know that I did not use “In Control.’ It had to be some registry change that I saw in this newsletter back then.
When I his the ‘View Configuration Update Policies link,’ all I get is the following:
“Policies for your Device: Target Release Versions for your device:
Source: Administrator
Type: Group Policy
Target versions for future updates
Source: Administrator
Type: Group Policy’ ”
If I knew which Group Policy to change I’d give it a try there.
I still think it’s something I changed in the Registry.

AskWoody PlusMarch 21, 2025 at 9:22 am in reply to: Windows Update says that “some settings are managed by your organization” #2757325I have clicked on Update now button. Except for a few dots going across the screen a few times, nothing happens.
There is no indication that any file has been downloaded.
I agree that I must have used a registry setting to keep me on 21h1. But I have no idea where that would be or what to do to reset it so update will work.
