Get Latest Updates as soon as available in Windows 11 is greyed out

As the title said I can't press the button anymore, but it did allowed me to use it before,
It saying it isn't available due to my policy organization, I did used apps like O&O ShutUp10++ and Winaero Tweaker, but I didn't turned off my WinUpdate aside from driver updates, moreover I've a laptop with the same win11 ver that used the exact same settings I did with Winaero Tweaker and O&O ShutUp10++ and the button works there fine so I don't think it's related to these apps (I also did tried to reverse the changes just in case and it didn't helped)

I've tried Brink fix too and it didn't helped as well,

Overall it's a fresh installation of the very last ver from MS ISO so I don't have that Target Release Version that people got from previous updates since I've started with 23H2 from the get-go,

I can't tell what caused it since I didn't kept track of when it got greyed out so I dk what else I should do to fix it,
Can anyone help me out solving this issue?

Is this a company computer (or managed by your company's policies)? If so, you should check with your company system admin.

Try running this batch file. It contains a sequence of SFC, DISM and CHKDSK commands.

Not want to sound rude but I'm not running commands out of the bat that will change things on the PC like that, only ones that scan and report about errors first,

I've already tried sfc /verifyonly before making this thread and it showed some errors most likely due to me using the apps I've mentioned above or using few reg changes such as ones that remove the pin to quick access from the trash pin and the like, since win11 is annoying to use when MS suddenly break/change things, so unlike with OSs like win7 where I've kept the OS 100% stable and without deep changes, with win11 I'm ok with sfc detecting errors due to my changes,

I just want the greyed out button to work and dk what is the solo cause for that, but I'm not going to change the entire system back just for that and I've already used the exact same things in my other win11 machine and there the button still working so I can assume my changes aren't the cause,

Here is the log from the sfc though

SFC, DISM will not change those settings.
You need to check the registry under key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"IsContinuousInnovationOptedIn"=dword:00000001

Explained here, is that what @Brink advised you to do?

Enable or Disable Get Latest Updates as soon as available in Windows 11

I've already checked it before started the post, it was set to 0 since it was off before the issue started, changing it 1 seem to move the slider but it still keep being greyed out so it not solve the actual issue I'm facing :/

I'm running into a similar issue and found that removing the "IsContinuousInnovationOptedIn" key altogether un-greys the toggle out. The key existing at all is what restricts user interaction.

Unfortunately for me, though I can now interact with the toggle, leaving the page and then coming back will reveal that the setting was not saved. And when I come back to the page a few days later I'll find that it's been fully greyed out again, so I'm thinking a third party application is changing some registry keys without my consent. The only Windows "debloater" apps I use are Winaero Tweaker and MSEdge Redirect, and I don't enable anything Windows Update-related.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to give my two cents.

Hello,

Just to confirm, did you check option 4 below to see if that may be why it's grayed out?

verifyonly, is pointless.

sfc /scannnow
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Harmless, and can often be healthy. Not that I think they will repair your issue.

Many issues start from people running 3rd party tools. I personally wouldn’t touch ShutUp.
