No, the notification says "You need some updates". I click on it
and the Windows update page appears showing whatever patch tuesday
updates are available, plus the daily "you have installed something
we don't like" update, and below is an optional "quality" update
which I ignore
Putting "updates" into the search box and selecting "Windows Update
Settings" puts me into the main Windows Update page, where I can
see "view configured update policies" and clicking on this shows
a page with the text "Wondering why you're seeing 'Some settings are
managed by your organisation" (which shows at the top of the main
Windows Update page).
Then under "Policies set on your device" I see -
Notify to download updates
Source:Administrator
Type:Group Policy
Set Automatic Update Options
Source:Administrator
Type:Group Policy
On the right of the screen is a link to learn how Windows
Group Policies manage updates, which gives this page -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-wu-settings
Scroll down this page to "Configuring Automatic Updates by using Group
Policy" and this looks like how you alter the way updates are downloaded
and installed
Hope this helps
