Windows Update not allowing me to configure

Hello all!

I was told to post here after talking to some people in one of the other forums, so I will link to that thread with the information already discussed!

Any help is appreciated!

Suggestions:

An automatic troubleshooter is available that fixes some problems with Windows Update.

You may need to  run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to scan your system files and to repair missing or corrupted system files.

You may create another User Account with Administrative privileges and recheck the issue.

Kindly go through the following KB Article:

"Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer" error when you try to install Windows updates

Thanks for the tips, I tried all those and it still is locked to that setting, even editting it in the regestry causes it to refresh to Not allowing automatic updates and the value (1) for the AUOptions key.

Any advice is welcome,

Thanks!

Hello Edward Cyngier,

Do you mean that you cant choose the important update to install? Please share us a screenshot.
Is this computer domain-joined?

In the start search box, type gpedit.msc and press enter.
Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates -> Windows Component -> Windows Update. Make sure the states of all setting are Not Configured.
Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates-> System-> Internet Communication Management-> Internet Communication settings. Make sure the state of Turn off access to all Windows Update features is Not Configured

Please download and install the System update readiness tool for Windows 7.
