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.

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.
