1607 and 1703 autoupdating, and bypassing sccm updates

Recently all our windows 10 devices have been going online to get windows updates.  We are running SCCM, and up until recently this was working for pushing out updates.  

 

We had our "allow Telemetary" set to 0 but have since changed it to 1.  I have  confirmed SCCM has the local policy set for "specify intranet microsoft update service location"..   We have tried setting "select when feature updates are received" to disabled... and still no luck.

 

The only way I can stop onilne updates is by setting "do not connect to any windows update internet locations"...  but then windows store doesn't work.  

 

Has anyone else ran into this? 

  • I found our mistake.  

     

    During our image creation we had selected "current branch for business" as a branch readiness level.  I couldn't see this in rsop, or in any of our group policies. 

     

    Turns out the registry entry that caused us this grief was the following.

     

    hklm\software\microsoft\windowsupdate\ux\settings "branchreadinesslevel" .  It was set to 32, and after chaning it to 0 our comptuers look only to sccm/wsus.

    We are seeing the same thing.  Tough to say when it started, though...it killed our internet connection yesterday.

     

    We don't use SCCM, only WSUS.

     

    Interested in what others are seeing,  I am going to go search for te setting you spoke of, as we don't make use of the windows store.

     

    Thanks
