Scan Windows Update Settings

Managing Windows updates is almost a job on its own. With new version being released every year and updates every month, it is enough to keep you busy. Luckily Windows does have settings you can use to make your life a little easier. Settings that control when updates are downloaded and installed or when not to do it. Additionally, there are many other optional settings that can be enabled like Active Hours, Insider Program and more. To help you report on these, we have a Windows Update Settings blog post that covers some of the settings available for scanning in the latest Windows versions and where you can find more of them if you are interested. The report below shows assets where the pause status, update deferral, or reboot registry key has been scanned. To have these values scanned you must configure the following registry keys in your registry scanning configuration.
Please Note: The registry keys used may not be available on older Windows 10 versions.
