Set Windows Update Registry Values

Summary​

The script is designed to remove any additional registry values from the registry path Computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Policies/Microsoft/Windows/WindowsUpdate/AU. Additionally, it ensures that the values for the keys NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers and NoAutoUpdate are set to 1.

CW Support recommends setting these registry keys on the local device to ensure that patching and rebooting occur properly from CW RMM.

Furthermore, the script will ensure that patching access is not disabled for the System account by making the necessary registry changes.
