How to remove "Some settings are managed by your organization" on Windows 2019 DC

One of our clients has upgraded their Windows 2012 R2 DC to 2019. The Windows Update shows  "Some settings are managed by your organization". They wanders how remove this message. I have tried these.

 

1. Run gpedit.msc and make sure All Settings are No configured.

2. Run  gpedit.msc. Enabled Allow Telemetry wit 3-Full. Then disable. I tries that a couple times and run gpupdate /force.

3. Changing Registry Setting: changed NoToastApplicationNotification vvalue from 1 to 0.

4. Changed Privacy" -> "Feedback & diagnostics from Basic to Full. 

 

None of them fixes the problem. Any suggestions?

  • All the answer is to open gpedit Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> All Settings .
    Sort by State then anything that is set to enabled change it to not configured.

      I have done this -- "Nothing" is set as you mention - everything in the ALL SETTINGS is set to "Not Configured".  This is a brand new (about 10 days old) Server 2019 install that I will be setting up to be a Domain Controller for my home.  I am one of those folks who hates to see any WARNING or ERROR in the event viewer and messages like this one - which make no sense.  😊

      I think I have finally gotten all of the errors out of the Event Viewer (DCOM and such) - now this one.  has been bugging me since this OS was installed.  I am fully updated....and I hate responses of "you can safely ignore it."   As there has to be a reason for it, and a way to fix it.  

      Much Thanks,

      Curtis

      this solution worked for me.  It help that you showed me where to go in GPedit.msc.  A few other posts just said to go the Gpedit but not  "Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> All Settings ."  Thanks

    Hi Bob Lin,

     

    When you applied a policy for Windows Update, you would get that warning. That's normal.

     

    Could you check group policy configurations below which applied to your domain controller OU or Local Group Policy on your Domain Controller:

     

    1. In Group Policy Object Editor, expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then click Windows Update.

    2. In the details pane, click Configure Automatic Updates

    3. Change all of the enabled configurations from Enabled to Not Configured

      But the OP said there is no policy configured:

       

       

       

      am I the only one that actually reads the post?

      because I'm also looking for a solution to this and so far, nothing

        After searching online, this is my conclusion: It could be your System Administrator disabled Windows Update manually. This message is just a warning and shouldn’t cause any issues or limitations. 

        Here is collected resolutions.

      But he is using Windows Server 2019 as a domain controller, not sure a simple harmless message is worth nuking that whole domain controller and other parts that rely on it.

        Thanks, and you are sure that the server is not joined to Windows insider program?
