>We have a situation that happened on a server which we cannot explain. Windows updates is disabled. In Important Updates section, the item "Never check for updates (not recommended)" is disabled. However, last Friday, in the middle of the night, that causes a major problem when Windows updates kicked in. Anyone would know if there is another setting bypassing that one?
From the timing, sounds like it might be a Group Policy setting. If the server is a domain member, Group Policy can override local settings.
Or, on a domain, WSUS may be in place.
