Question

Hi All,
I have run into a very frustrating issue where my computer updates and restarts without notice. I have tried to disable this setting, but have encountered the message "Some settings are managed by your organization", but I am not part of an organization, own my windows 10 licence, and am not enrolled in the insider program. Many google searches have suggested that I enter the group policy editor to disable these policies in the "Windows Update" settings but it appears that no policies are configured here so I do not think that this is the issue. I have also seen suggestions to look in the registry editor but the suggested settings to modify do not appear in my editor. I am truly at a loss here! I have attached a list of all the installed policies, any advice as to how I would go about removing all of these would be immensely appreciated!
1)Auto install and restart at an IT specified time with no notifications
2)Schedule Update Install Day
3)Schedule Update Install Time
4)Get Updates for Other microsoft products
5)Disable Pause updates by User
6)Quality Update Deferral Period
7)Feature update deferral period
8)Exclude Drivers from Windows Quality Updates
9)Enable Automatic Updates
10)Enable skipping battery checks for EDU devices
all of these have the source Administrator and type: Mobile Device Management
I am the sole administrator account so I do not understand why these are here.

Change the settings here:
"Settings" -> "Privacy" -> "Feedback & diagnostics" -> "Diagnostics and usage data" it is set to "Basic". Change it to "Enhanced" or higher, the message disappears.

Hello,
Unfortunately I do not have such a setting that shows up in my diagnostics and feedback settings. Within these settings I again have the message
"some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization"
Very frustrating!

Well, you have Windows 10 Pro, so you can use the Local Group Policty Editor to enable the Feedback & diagnostics settings.
- Open the Run window (Win + R) and run the command gpedit.msc
- There navigate trougth the following folders: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds
- Once there, on the right, double click on Allow Telemetry
- On the window that opens, click on the Enabled and in the dropdown menu select 3- Full
- Now, restart your computer to apply the changes
I hope this little tutorial helps you.
Best regards
