Office 2013 Silent Install - Enable "Use Recommended Settings" on install?

Hello,

I followed this page:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd630736.aspx

It works great, I setup the config.xml and am able to silently deploy Office 2013 across a bunch of workstations remotely.

The one issue I'm running into is on first run, the users are prompted to select if it should be updated automatically or not (See the attached image). None of the users have Admin access on these machines and this Window requires a user with admin privileges to select it. This window cannot be bypassed, cancelled or minimized. They basically cannot use Office until they make a choice on this screen. 

I would rather not have to log in to each machine as myself and configure this screen individually (there are a lot of computers). Is there any key or property I can add to the config.xml to enable the "Use Recommended Settings" option during install so that the users can just open up MS Office and start writing/excelling?

Thanks for any tips.

Edit: Realized I am using Office 2010, but I don't think it matters since I followed the guide for silently installing Office 2013 and everything worked fine.

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I would like to know if you are still having issues with deploying office 2010 ?

    In case if you’re having issue it would best be addressed at the Office IT Pro forum. Refer to the following link to post your query:
