Question

Hi,
I am trying to block Windows 10 update from internet location. For this i have implemented GPO "Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations". This GPO is working and blocking the device to take update from internet location.
But the issue which i am facing that it is also blocking the windows store apps from being installed. Please suggest me how both things will work so that windows update is also blocked and store apps can also be installed from windows store.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Windows store works based on update components. Block update will also block Windows store. It is by design. In fact, you can see it has said enabling this policy will disable the functionality to periodically retrieve information from the public Windows Server Update Service, and it may cause connection to public services such as the Windows Store to stop working. I am afraid that there is no way to make Windows store working when you enabled this GPO.
Best regards

Hi,
My main concern is to disable Check online for updates from Microsoft Updates when it is enrolled with Microsoft In tune. Is there is any way from where i can disable this and my window store will also work?
Thank
Abhishek

Hi ,
No, there is no way. The below is a similar case for your reference. You can check this.
Remove "check online for updates from Microsoft Update" without stopping usage of the windows store
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a50333b2-f955-44aa-840d-3a5229fd36ec/remove-check-online-for-updates-from-microsoft-update-without-stopping-usage-of-the-windows-store?forum=win10itprogeneral
But, I think I may find a workaround. Though there is no way to remove the link “Check online for updates from Microsoft Update” and make store work, there is another GPO (“Turn Off Access to All Windows Update Features”) in which will disable the ability to communicate with Windows Update, but will continue to allow the Store to work. Due to the limited working environment, it is not available for me to test this. We would appreciate it if you would post back the test result. Please check Rich Mawdsley's reply in the following link for detailed information.

I tried this and it killed the store. The only way to do this is to manage the store through SCCM
