some settings are managed by your system administrator

I wanted to manually do windows updates on a test server. However after removing the server from group policy and doing a gpupdate /force and a reboot the server still wouldn't let me do windows updates as local or domain admin. After trying a bunch of stuff I finally got it working with these settings.

Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc

Computer configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update
Configure Automatic updates
Choose enabled
Choose option 5 - Allow local admin to choose setting

User configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update
Remove access to use all Windows Update features
Choose Disabled
