Hi @TonyJK，

We usually enable or disable software updates on the Client Settings. When you disable this setting, Configuration Manager removes existing deployment policies from clients. When you re-enable this setting, the client downloads the current deployment policy.

But here I only have the default client settings. If you have other client settings in your environment, be aware of the priority and scope of client settings.
