It says to contact the system admin about changing that setting, but I am the one and only user of this computer...
Hello Chris,
It looks like you have a group policy set that disabled it. See if using step 2 in Option Three of the tutorial below may sort it for you.
Store Update Apps Automatically - Turn On or Off in Windows 10
Negative. Didn't work. :/
If you haven't already, see if restarting the PC may fully apply the .reg file.
I checked the registry and the key wasn't even added to the registry.
Mine is also inactive. I presume it is because it is the Home edition; I upgraded Win7 Home Premium.
I'd call this a early release bug. It's most likely an over zealous developer carrying over the WU controls (or lack there of). Users better be able to decide if the apps get updated - apps aren't the OS.
Ummmm well maybe some of them are - but hey I might not want my games updated.
I just checked a clean install of Windows 10 Home in a VM, and it's the same in it as well.
It looks like the no opting out of automatic updates in the Home edition applies to everything.
Thanks for checking / confirming.
I'm not talking about Windows Updates updates, but rather app updates, e.g. Netflix, etc. I can't enable or disable that option to have my apps update automatically.
I'm referring to both automatic Windows Updates and app updates can't be changed in Home.
