Window 10 organization question - how to remove?

I downloaded the PC Health Check to see if my system (Home Computer) meets the requirements for Windows 11 when I ran the check. when I hit the check now button it pops up with a notice "Your Organization manages updates on this PC. ( I did purchase the computer from EBAY so not sure what OS was used).

I went to gpedit.msc Computer configurations Administrative templates All settings and checked there. All states are Not Configured. I also checked the Windows Components and Windows Updates. All states are also Not Configured. 
I also checked Regedit,

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

and do not see a windows update in that address

 

Where else can I look to remove this? This is the first time I have seen the message and I have never had to have permission to install updates. any help would be appreciated.  

 

windows current spec
Windows 10 Pro 

version 21H1

OS build 19043.1052

 

 

  • Hello adblack1983,

     

    You'll see that message when your system is connected to Azure AD/Microsoft 365/AD or your system itself is DC. All of my server systems have that message, which is expected.

     



    Currently, you can go to Settings app > Accounts > Access work or school and make sure you don't have any account connected in the right pane. Else, you can wait for update to 'PC Health Check app', as Sumit said.

    Regards.

      Thank you. This is exactly what it was, I had my work email added. Removed it and the message is now gone.
      Although now I don't know why the check shows I don't meet the specs. Even though I know I do.

        I have found that a number of computers in my organization have a system reserved partition that is to small. Windows 11 uses this partition during the upgrade process but sometimes it cannot resize it. You would need to resize it to 400 MB and then you should meet the minimum requirements unless your computer is more than about 3 years old in which case your processor might not meet the requirements.

      Hello. While trying to install windows 11 ive gotten an error which says "Your organization manages updates on this PC" for no apparent reason, ive been checking many tutorials, none of them work. I dont have any school,bussiness or any type of account connected to my OS. I only have my Home account, even in the auto updates setting, it says the same thing "Your organization manages updates on this PC" i dont know what to do. Even in the Registery editor i was searching for the PushNotifications i couldnt find them, Any help?

        In Regedit go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft \Windows\WindowsUp date\AU\UseWUServer and change UseWUServer from "1" to "0", it should allow the Windows 11 upgrade check to run: Just remember to change it back when you are done.

    Hi adblack1983,

    I have seen many reports of the same. What you can do is, an update to the tool would be available tomorrow, which you can try to run and see if it fixes the issue. If it is a bug on the tool's end, that should do the job.

    I have fixed this same message by doing the following.

     

    In Regedit go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft \Windows\WindowsUp date\AU\UseWUServer and change UseWUServer from "1" to "0", no reboot or signing off and back in required, it should allow the Windows 11 upgrade check to run.
