Fix Cannot Edit Windows Update For Windows 7 Pro

Ran into a weird situation where Windows 7 Pro did not allow me to change the Windows Update schedule.

Turns out you need to edit the group policy.

Go to Start > gpedit.msc then follow in the left pane:

User Configuration
Administrative Templates
Windows Components
Windows Update

In the right pane select Remove Access to use All Windows Update features.

You can enable to disable the feature according to your preference.
