Need Help Configuring Windows Automatic Updates, Permissions and U

Hello all,

Recently we modified our images so that automatic updates run without user
interaction. The engineer who configured it so that all options are greyed
out even for admin. He must've made a registry or system32 change. It turns
out the users do need the ability to change at "their" convenience. As in
some cases the users have been rebooted and don't have the chance to save
what they've been working on.

Does anybody know how I can set this back to default and give a "standard"
user the ability to do the updates manually? Currently I believe you must be
admin.

Thanks to all in advance.

Have you contacted the engineer who configured it?
