Windows Unattended: Hide the "Windows Updates are Disabled For This Computer" Message?

  • 772

In autounattend.xml I can set <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> to disable automatic updates. However, after installing, Windows still complains loudly that updates are disabled.

By manually checking disable updates the message does go away. But how do I do this without requiring user interaction?

  1. There is no such way in autounattend.xml. Use GPO to disable the Action Center (which displays those messages): 

    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar
Item: Remove the Action Center icon
