Access Denied


Network policy settings prevent you from using Windows Update to download
and install updates on your computer.

If you believe you have received this message in error, please check with
your system administrator.

Could somebody help please??

Does your account have administrative privileges?

On top of that, what OS are you using? Which service packs are already
installed?

Hi,

See if you find a registry value NoWindowsUpdate or
DisableWindowsUpdateAccess that is set to 1.

Start/Run ==> regedit.exe

Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer

delete the value "NoWindowsUpdate" if it exist.


Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Windows Update

delete the value "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" if it exist.


Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows Update

delete the value "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" if it exist.


If the above values was not found:

Do a registry search (in regedit.exe, be sure to have "My Computer"
selected when starting each search)) for registry values with name

NoWindowsUpdate

and
DisableWindowsUpdateAccess

and delete if found.

Note that if your computer is member of an Active Directory domain,
and this this is a policy set with Group Policy, the registry
values will re-appear at next GPO-refresh.
