Windows Update: "Update is not allowed to download due to regulation."
I'm getting this error message in my logs on several networks. Everything was going fine until the updates that were released last Tuesday.ONE machine on one of the said networks updated without a problem.
Didn't find the information you thought to find?Similar Threads

I have the same problem in
my log, but they eventually downloaded, with this entry in the WU log, which I did not see in other logs:

I don't see how that is possible, as I only use about 5 default passwords, and none of them work!
I can access the WU site from my computer, and a Custom installation says there are no Critical Updates available...
I think I may just wait this out a few days and see if it is indeed an issue with the WU servers

I changed it this morning, and when I logged in, WU didn't prompt me for anythingmy log, I noticed I got the same log entry on every update in the past year
