Hi Harm_Veenstra we run the rsop.msc ont he machine and we can find a Windows Update service on disable state on the server's
at the follow the setting that we set on policy for disable update
please let me know if we make a mistake to set it. The domain controller that where set a GPO it's a Windows 2012R2 server
Thanks a lot

Do you also disable the Software Protection service? Only the Windows Update service is needed, but in fact, I think that only setting the Windows Update settings to disabled should be enough. The Windows Update service will still be running, but in the Windows Update control panel, you should see that it's not configured/disabled.
Harm_Veenstra yes we disable a Software Protection service, we find this workaround on this link https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/298c11d5-02ec-4627-9916-7182d994be3b/successfully-scheduled-software-protection-service-for-restart-reason-rulesengine?forum=WAVirtualMachinesforWindows and try it on dev machine
