Symptoms
After you upgrade an operating system to Windows 11, version 24H2 using a task sequence in Configuration Manager, the Check online for updates from Microsoft Update option becomes invisible and unavailable.
Cause
Before the upgrade, the task sequence engine enables the following local group policy to prevent the client from connecting to Microsoft Update:
Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations
Note
The group policy is located under Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Server Update Service.
Once the upgrade is complete and the task sequence finishes, the task sequence disables the group policy. This group policy is controlled by the following registry key:
- Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate - Value name:
DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations - Value data:
1= Enabled0= Disabled
However, when the registry value is set to 0, the Check online for updates from Microsoft Update option is hidden in Windows 11, version 24H2.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, change the state of the local group policy to Not Configured, which removes the registry value (DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations).
