I don’t see it on domain level. Do i need a specific ADMX template or something else? I have 21h2, 21h1 and 22h2 clients I am trying to disable windows updates for.

Not just local GPO editor but it should be available for domain level as well.

I have the same issue; the GPO is deployed in the OU.

When running gpupdate /force on the client, the messages I get are:

Computer Policy update has been completed successfully.
User Policy update has been completed successfully.

Can you tell me what do you see when you run gpupdate /force on the client computer?. Where have you deployed the GPO, at domain level or OU?.

First, I must complement you on how clear and accurate your guides are.
I have tried to follow many other “how to’s” and usually the guide does not exactly match the screen shots or verbiage.

I would like to refer to your blog post “Disable Check for Updates using Group Policy (GPO)”

Very clear, accurate, and easy to follow.

However, after completing the final step, running the “gpupdate /force” command on the local computer the desired result did not occur.

The Group Policy Management Editor on the server shows:
Remove access to use all Windows Update features ENABLED

The command run on local computers (one WIN10 one WIN11) completed with the message:
Computer Policy update has been completed successfully.

Your help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ted
