How to Enable or Disable Check for Windows Updates in Windows 10
My purpose would be to enable the use of the Windows Update service only for the users belonging to the Administrators group so that Windows 11 can download the updates only when one of these users is logged in.
Now, do you understand?
Thanks

That is the same policy for blocking non-Admin users from triggering an update. It's right in the tutorial:
If you're expecting to block WU from running when no user is logged in (Admin or non-Admin) then you should disable automatic updates at the same time.

That line is about who can make the policy change, not who can run updates.

Doesn't just block non-admin users from using check for updates.

I finally worked out a different answer by using System Settings page visibility to hide WU's features, and enforced by a local policy on the Non-Administrators users group.
1. Visit the Security Compliance Toolkit page, and click Download. Only select the LGPO.zip file.
2. Extract the LGPO.exe file.
3. Extract the included ZIP file in the same folder as LGPO.exe
Never install a random Policy file from someone you don't trust.
To verify Registry.pol's contents, run this command:
LGPO.exe /parse /un Registry.pol
4. LGPO.exe /un Registry.pol
1. Visit the Security Compliance Toolkit page, and click Download. Only select the LGPO.zip file.
2. Extract the LGPO.exe file.
3. Extract the included ZIP file in the same folder as LGPO.exe
Never install a random Policy file from someone you don't trust.
To verify Registry.pol's contents, run this command:
LGPO.exe /parse /un Registry.pol
Code:

Another detail:
If I wanted that only users belonging to the Administrators group could download the updates from Windows Update and update the system, how could I do that?
Thanks
