our network machines currently have automatic updates enabled.
Is there a registry fix or any other method that we can apply to disable
auto updates without going to each machine and manually diabling it?

net stop wuauserv
set AUOptions under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update
to 1
net start wuauserv
Microsoft recommend users to turn on Automatic Updates to help their
computers stay secure.
May I ask why you want to turn off AU?
