Im using Windows 7 Ultimate, Cannot Change Windows Update Settings
Im using Windows 7 Ultimate, and I've been encountering difficulties in Windows Updates Settings. I want to change my settings on Windows Updates so I can install important software from the Internet. But the problem is it prompts this message "SOME SETTINGS ARE MANAGED BY YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR" as well as "NEVER CHECK FOR UPDATES(NOT RECOMMENDED). Please help me to fix this problem... It is really important to me... I hope you can resolve this technical issue.. Thanks!!!

Hi, Before going any further, I would like to verify if your pc is in a domain. If your computer is part of a domain, this feature may be disable via GPO by your system administrator. You may need to contact it with your IT department. If it is not in a domain but the issue appears, please make sure you are logging on with system administrator account. In addition, if any security program is installed, please temporarily disable it. Meanwhile, please check the GPO settings on your PC: · 1. Click Start, type “gpedit.msc” and press enter. 2. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates -> Windows Component -> Windows Update. Make sure the states of all setting are Not Configured. 3. 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. Hope it helps.
