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?

Bob Lin All this information is wrong wrong wrong! Easiest fix is to delete the WindowsUpdate registry key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate I will post a step by step perfect way to do this later tonight or tomorrow.

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: In Group Policy Object Editor, expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then click Windows Update.In the details pane, click Configure Automatic UpdatesChange all of the enabled configurations from Enabled to Not Configured

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.

Set "disabled" at "configure automatic updates" gpedit.msc in Windows Server 2022 clean installation
Then, set "not configure". That works!

I found that resetting all my local group settings in command prompt worked.

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-reset-local-group-policy-objects-their-default-settings-windows-10

Scroll down to the section that says, "How to reset all Local Group Policy settings using Command Prompt"

Thanks

Fixed the old fashioned way.
Disable Windows Update service
Rebooted
Delete contents of c:\windows\software distribution
Turn Windows Update service back to manual
Check for updates

All working fine now.

This has now been disabled, local gpedit settings all Not configured, WindowsUpdate registry keys removed.
Still getting Managed by Organisation.

  Thank you! This is what fixed it for me. None of the Group Edit things were ever set to enable in the first place so the other solutions did not apply to me.
