Hi,

I have several computers in a network that I've set to auto-update at certain times (out of business hours). I've turned notifications off but I still get a popup during business hours asking me to complete updates that I need to hide. Is there any way to hide this popup and just have the updates complete at the time I've told them to?

I've attached an image of the popup

    Hi 74850025,

    Agreed with Reza, you need to turn off the notifications setting. User's image

    You can also try to disable Windows update notifications using Registry Editor:

    1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
    2. Type regedit in the box and press Enter.
    3. Select Yes when the User Account Control (UAC) prompt appears.
    4. In the Registry Editor window, use the left pane to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Policies > Microsoft > Windows.
    5. Locate the WindowsUpdate key. If you can’t find it, right-click on the Windows key and select New > Key. Rename the key as WindowsUpdate.
    6. Right-click the WindowsUpdate key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
    7. Rename the DWORD as SetUpdateNotificationLevel.
    8. Double-click the newly created DWORD and change its Value data to 0.
    9. Click OK.
