I am running Win 11 Pro 23H2 OS build: 22631.3958
I see that a number of people have had this issue with Windows update and I have now joined those ranks.
Windows update offers the suggestion that it is Group Policy.
I've not set any policies and pretty much all that has been installed so far are drivers/utilities and a browser.
I am 99% sure that both automatic updates and updates for other MS products was initially available and active immediately after install.
This is a fresh install, not an upgrade. No Group Policies exist.
Given that this is a completely new build, how is this even possible?

So that script appears to have completely fixed it FreeBooter - Many thanks.
Ofc, whoever created the solution must understand the problem, right?
Upon restart it also threw up an Edge Search Bar config dialogue box. What else has it done? LoL

The script belongs to me, it deletes set policies within registry and reset Group Policy.

I'm still curious as to how those policies were registered in the first place.

Welcome to the forum, Lance 🙏


Eleven Forums Official Tutorial. There are a couple of MS doc links in there, not sure they’ll answer any of your questions.

    …still on a horse.
Execute the attached batch script to see it will help.
even though it felt only weird and wrong to download some .bat file of some forum and execute it ... but nothing has helped so far and this did.
thanks again FreeBooter, I will spread the word.

Hi all - first time commenter, having tried advice on reddit and then here and run that .bat file - nothing worked!
So I did some messing around and enabled "Turn off Group Policy client Service AOAC optimization" in Local Group Policy-> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration ->Administration Templates-> system -> Group Policy...and now it seems to be downloading updates! just leaving this here for future googlers.
