Windows Update - Install Now greyed out

N

NMillerEMN

Trying to install pending Windows Updates on systems in a domain. All Server 2016 systems show updates available, but have the "Install Now" button (under Settings->Windows Update) greyed out.

At top of Updates window, in red letters it says "Some settings are managed by your organization." Just under greyed-out button, says "This option is managed by your organization."

GPO settings:

Do not display 'Install Updates and Shut Down' option in Shut Down Windows dialog box: Disabled

Do not adjust default option to 'Install Updates and Shut Down' in Shut Down Windows dialog box: Enabled

Configure Automatic Updates: Enabled, 3, 0, 3:00, Install updates for other Microsoft products (that last only checked during troubleshooting this issue)

Specify intranet Microsoft update service location: Enabled, first two blanks set to domain's WSUS server, third blank left empty

Automatic Updates detection frequency: Enabled, 2

Remove access to use all Windows Update features: Disabled

Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications: Disabled

Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation: Disabled

Turn on recommended updates via Automatic Updates: Enabled

Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations: Enabled, 30

Server 2012 R2 servers in same domain can install updates using same GPO.


Another, near-identical domain I manage that has identical GPO settings (except for WSUS server address) is able to install updates without issues.


Any assistance appreciated.
