I recently implemented a basic GPO in a mixed 2008R2/2012R2/2016/2019 environment to restrict users from changing the download/install settings for Windows Update. A third party application is used to deploy the updates and the GPO was primarily meant to prohibit a user from configuring automatic download and install. DC's are running 2016.

The registry values deployed by the GPO are:

NoAutoUpdate - 1

NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers - 1



For 2008R2/2012R2 - the menu option to is locked and shows option 2 as desired. However on 2016 OS - the Windows Update -> Update Settings still displays a description of "Available updates will be downloaded and installed automatically...".
