In autounattend.xml I can set <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> to disable automatic updates. However, after installing, Windows still complains loudly that updates are disabled.

By manually checking disable updates the message does go away. But how do I do this without requiring user interaction?

  • Just curious here. Why the need to turn off automatic updates? Why bother? Is bandwidth? – motobói Feb 12 '12 at 22:02
  • @motobói Bandwidth is not an issue and the disable is temporary. But I don't want users seeing this message, if possible. – unixman83 Feb 13 '12 at 05:53

There is no such way in autounattend.xml. Use GPO to disable the Action Center (which displays those messages): 

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar
Item: Remove the Action Center icon
