<!-- Description-Source-DDF -->
Specifies whether the device could use Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), or Microsoft Store. Even when Windows Update is configured to receive updates from an intranet update service, it will periodically retrieve information from the public Windows Update service to enable future connections to Windows Update, and other services like Microsoft Update or the Microsoft Store. Enabling this policy will disable that functionality, and may cause connection to public services such as the Microsoft Store to stop working.

> [!NOTE]
> This policy applies only when the desktop or device is configured to connect to an intranet update service using the Specify intranet Microsoft update service location policy.

By default, HTTP WSUS servers scan only if system proxy is configured. This policy setting allows you to configure user proxy as a fallback for detecting updates while using an HTTP-based intranet server despite the vulnerabilities it presents.

This policy setting doesn't impact those customers who have, per Microsoft recommendation, secured their WSUS server with TLS/SSL protocol, thereby using HTTPS-based intranet servers to keep systems secure. That said, if a proxy is required, we recommend configuring a system proxy to ensure the highest level of security.

> [!NOTE]
> Configuring this policy setting to 1 exposes your environment to potential security risk and makes scans unsecure.

<!-- Description-Source-DDF -->
Specifies an alternate intranet server to host updates from Microsoft Update. You can then use this update service to automatically update computers on your network. This setting lets you specify a server on your network to function as an internal update service. The Automatic Updates client will search this service for updates that apply to the computers on your network. To use this setting, you must set two server name values the server from which the Automatic Updates client detects and downloads updates, and the server to which updated workstations upload statistics. You can set both values to be the same server. An optional server name value can be specified to configure Windows Update agent, and download updates from an alternate download server instead of WSUS Server. Value type is string and the default value is an empty string, . If the setting is not configured, and if Automatic Updates is not disabled by policy or user preference, the Automatic Updates client connects directly to the Windows Update site on the Internet.

> [!NOTE]
> If the Configure Automatic Updates Group Policy is disabled, then this policy has no effect. If the Alternate Download Server Group Policy is not set, it will use the WSUS server by default to download updates. This policy is not supported on Windows RT. Setting this policy will not have any effect on Windows RT PCs.

| 0 | Notify the user before downloading the update. This policy is used by the enterprise who wants to enable the end-users to manage data usage. With this option users are notified when there are updates that apply to the device and are ready for download. Users can download and install the updates from the Windows Update control panel. |
| 1 | Auto install the update and then notify the user to schedule a device restart. Updates are downloaded automatically on non-metered networks and installed during "Automatic Maintenance" when the device is not in use and is not running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for two days, Windows Update will install updates immediately. If the installation requires a restart, the end-user is prompted to schedule the restart time. The end-user has up to seven days to schedule the restart and after that, a restart of the device is forced. Enabling the end-user to control the start time reduces the risk of accidental data loss caused by applications that do not shutdown properly on restart. |
| 2 (Default) | Auto install and restart. Updates are downloaded automatically on non-metered networks and installed during "Automatic Maintenance" when the device is not in use and is not running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for two days, Windows Update will install updates right away. If a restart is required, then the device is automatically restarted when the device is not actively being used. This is the default behavior for unmanaged devices. Devices are updated quickly, but it increases the risk of accidental data loss caused by an application that does not shutdown properly on restart. |
| 3 | Auto install and restart at a specified time. The IT specifies the installation day and time. If no day and time are specified, the default is 3 AM daily. Automatic installation happens at this time and device restart happens after a 15-minute countdown. If the user is logged in when Windows is ready to restart, the user can interrupt the 15-minute countdown to delay the restart. |
| 4 | Auto install and restart without end-user control. Updates are downloaded automatically on non-metered networks and installed during "Automatic Maintenance" when the device is not in use and is not running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for two days, Windows Update will install updates right away. If a restart is required, then the device is automatically restarted when the device is not actively being used. This setting option also sets the end-user control panel to read-only. |

0 (default) - Use the default Windows Update notifications
1 - Turn off all notifications, excluding restart warnings
2 - Turn off all notifications, including restart warnings

This policy allows you to define what Windows Update notifications users see. This policy doesn't control how and when updates are downloaded and installed.

**Important** if you choose not to get update notifications and also define other Group policy so that devices aren't automatically getting updates, neither you nor device users will be aware of critical security, quality, or feature updates, and your devices may be at risk.

If you select "Apply only during active hours" in conjunction with Option 1 or 2, then notifications will only be disabled during active hours. You can set active hours by setting "Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours" or allow the device to set active hours based on user behavior. To ensure that the device stays secure, a notification will still be shown if this option is selected once "Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts" deadline has been reached if configured, regardless of active hours.

> This policy can be used in conjunction with Update/ActiveHoursStart and Update/ActiveHoursEnd policies to ensure that the end user sees no update notifications during active hours until deadline is reached. If no active hour period is configured then this will apply to the intelligent active hours window calculated on the device.

0 (default) - Use the default Windows Update notifications
1 - Turn off all notifications, excluding restart warnings
2 - Turn off all notifications, including restart warnings

This policy allows you to define what Windows Update notifications users see. This policy doesn't control how and when updates are downloaded and installed.

**Important** if you choose not to get update notifications and also define other Group policy so that devices aren't automatically getting updates, neither you nor device users will be aware of critical security, quality, or feature updates, and your devices may be at risk.

If you select "Apply only during active hours" in conjunction with Option 1 or 2, then notifications will only be disabled during active hours. You can set active hours by setting "Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours" or allow the device to set active hours based on user behavior. To ensure that the device stays secure, a notification will still be shown if this option is selected once "Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts" deadline has been reached if configured, regardless of active hours.

For Quality Updates, this policy specifies the deadline in days before automatically scheduling and executing a pending restart outside of active hours. The deadline can be set between 2 and 30 days from the time the restart becomes pending. If configured, the pending restart will transition from Auto-restart to Engaged restart (pending user schedule) to automatically executed, within the specified period. The system will reboot on or after the specified deadline. The reboot is prioritized over any configured Active Hours and any existing system and user busy checks. Note. If Update/EngagedDeadline is the only policy set (Update/EngagedRestartTransitionSchedule and Update/EngagedRestartSnoozeSchedule are not set), the behavior goes from reboot required -> engaged behavior -> forced reboot after deadline is reached with a 3-day snooze period. Value type is integer. Default is 14. Supported value range: 2 - 30. If no deadline is specified or deadline is set to 0, the restart will not be automatically executed and will remain Engaged restart (e. g. pending user scheduling).
- If you disable or do not configure this policy, the default behaviors will be used.

Enable this policy to control the timing before transitioning from Auto restarts scheduled outside of active hours to Engaged restart, which requires the user to schedule. The period can be set between 0 and 30 days from the time the restart becomes pending.

You can specify the number of days a user can snooze Engaged restart reminder notifications. The snooze period can be set between 1 and 3 days.

You can specify the deadline in days before automatically scheduling and executing a pending restart regardless of active hours. The deadline can be set between 2 and 30 days from the time the restart becomes pending. If configured, the pending restart will transition from Auto-restart to Engaged restart (pending user schedule) to automatically executed, within the specified period.

If you do not specify a deadline or if the deadline is set to 0, the PC won't automatically restart and will require the person to schedule it prior to restart.

- If you disable or do not configure this policy, the PC will restart following the default schedule.

Enabling any of the following policies will override the above policy:

1. No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
2. Always automatically restart at scheduled time

3. Specify deadline before auto-restart for update installation

<!-- DisableWUfBSafeguards-Editable-Begin -->
<!-- Add any additional information about this policy here. Anything outside this section will get overwritten. -->
Safeguard holds prevent a device with a known compatibility issue from being offered a new OS version. The offering will proceed once a fix is issued and is verified on a held device. The aim of safeguards is to protect the device and user from a failed or poor upgrade experience. The safeguard holds protection is provided by default to all the devices trying to update to a new Windows 10 Feature Update version via Windows Update.

IT admins can, if necessary, opt devices out of safeguard protections using this policy setting or via the **Disable safeguards for Feature Updates** Group Policy.

> [!NOTE]
> Opting out of the safeguards can put devices at risk from known performance issues. We recommend opting out only in an IT environment for validation purposes. Further, you can leverage the Windows Insider Program for Business Release Preview Channel in order to validate the upcoming Windows 10 Feature Update version without the safeguards being applied.
>
> The disable safeguards policy will revert to "Not Configured" on a device after moving to a new Windows 10 version, even if previously enabled. This ensures the admin is consciously disabling Microsoft's default protection from known issues for each new feature update.
>
> Disabling safeguards doesn't guarantee your device will be able to successfully update. The update may still fail on the device and will likely result in a bad experience post upgrade, as you're bypassing the protection given by Microsoft pertaining to known issues.
