Notes

Configure Automatic Updates

This computer-scoped Group Policy setting controls how Windows scans for, downloads, and installs available updates. The listed values are components of the same policy and use the REG_DWORD data type.

Download Mode

This machine-wide REG_DWORD value determines which sources Windows Delivery Optimization may use to obtain supported content for Microsoft products. Depending on the value, Delivery Optimization can use the original HTTP source, Microsoft Connected Cache, and/or peer devices.

Disable pre-release features or settings

EnableExperimentation is a DWORD option formerly used by the Windows Group Policy setting “Disable pre-release features or settings.” Within that policy, a value of 0 selected the level at which Microsoft could configure device settings only as part of product experimentation. It did not select full experimentation involving user settings.

Toggle user control over Insider builds

This REG_DWORD value controls whether users can enroll the device for Windows Insider Preview builds through Windows Settings.
