Set AUOptions to 5 to enable user selection.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\
Policies \Microsoft\Windows \WindowsUpdate\AU\AUOptions
Policy setting for Automatic Updates configuration. If set to a value
other than 5, user is not allowed to configure anything in Control
Panel (except the "minor updates" setting).
When set via Group Policy, only options 2-5 are valid.
(None or invalid) – Policy does not exist
0 – Not configured (invalid for policy)
1 – AU is disabled (invalid for policy)
2 – Notify before download
3 – Notify before install
4 – Scheduled install (valid only if legal values are also specified
for ScheduledInstallDay and ScheduledInstallTime).
5 – Automatic Updates is required, but end users can choose how it is
configured. This option is new for Windows Update Services
If an invalid option or combination of options is specified via
policy, the effect is equivalent to not setting the policy: local
administrators will be able to change the setting using Control Panel.
