| # Stop the Windows Update service | |
| Stop-Service -Name wuauserv | |
| # Remove the registry key | |
| Remove-Item HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate -Recurse | |
| # Start the Windows Update service | |
| Start-Service -name wuauserv |
Worked for me as well! Thank you!
Be careful with this method, as it can remove GPO-related restrictions like automatic updates scheduling, or disabled automatic updates. A more fine-grained approach would be:
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value 0
Restart-Service -name wuauserv

Worked like a charm updating Azure Stack HCI 21H2 to 22H2 when node is connected to WSUS by GPO. At current date WSUS don't support Azure Stack HCI feature update.
