This tutorial will show you how to see which policies are set for Windows Update in Windows 11.
Some Windows Update settings and controls might not be available for you if your organization or administrator has set policies to manage updates, or if you've joined the Windows Insider Program.
Windows 11 makes it easy to see a list of all policies set on your device for Windows Update in Settings.
Starting with Windows 11 build 22635.4660 (Beta), Microsoft made some improvements to the configured update policies settings page. The value of each policy is now shown, and Learn more links are present on the right.
