Hi,
I have applied the group policy Computer Congfiguration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Updates > Configure Automatic Updates. I set this to Auto Download and Schedule the Install, Install during automatic Maintenance Disabled, Every Friday at 2AM. The group policy applies to the computer in question, however the scheduled update never takes place.

I am using Windows 10 1909. We do have SCCM installed on our network, but due to Most of the office working from home during COVID-19 this is not a great way for me to do the updates, and as such would like to have them use Windows Update from the Internet for the time being.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
