the problem is that windows home does not respect the GPO settings so we can not make it search for upates but not install them, hence the options are not available, and if disable automatic update is ticked, wumgr will sue the disable update facilitators method to disable the update mechanism all together

Ok, thanks for clarification!

I have windows 10 pro 1803 and the same greyed out settings as cra3yk
with admin rights and autostart.
I also have a windows 7 pro computer no issue with WUMGR, working fine.
I would rather use WUMGR instead of WUMT but until this bug is fixed with windows 10,
i'll continue with WUMT.
Thanks to all who are working on the project

Too clarify, WUMT may set these options on your windows 10 Pro, but your windows 10 Pro will IGNORE those.
So setting these options in WUMT for you is just a placebo, sorry.

@DavidXanatos Sorry, but I don't agree with you. I have Windows 10 Pro and use WUMT at the moment.
I want to switch to WUMGR because it is fresh and is in active development/maintenance. But for some reason I also have greyed out options.
I have "just inform about updates" enabled in WUNT. And seems that my OS really uses this option, because it is never tries to automaticall install new updates and shows all pending updates in OS interface.
Here is screen with additional parameters:
Look at red note. It is about something like "some parameters are adjusted by your organization". My notebook is not in domain, and there is nothing configured for any "organization".
Next screen is result of the click on link under the note from previous screen
Here is you can see two enabled policies:
- Notify about downloading of updates (Source: Administrator, type: group policy)
- Set parameters of auto-update (Source: Administrator, type: group policy)
Looks like WUMT really manage some group policies to enable things, that are not available in WUMGR.
So maybe you can investigate and make WUMGR to do same tricks like WUMT do?
P.S. I am from Ukraine, so my translation to english can be with errors. I hope, you understand me.

first, THANKS for your work!
I understand why these options have to be greyed out, but on my System the problem is, that on the other tab of 'Update Manager' (Options), where you can define the search under "Start" (no, daily, weekly, monthly), it seems that 'Update Manager' ignores this setting.
I'm using a clean install of the newest Windows 10 Pro (20H2) and set this Option to "Search for daily Update", but nothing happens on its own.
The program works fine, as long as i search for updates by clicking the button manually, but i never had it to find them automatically with a notification.
- I also described this issue on your page (Xanasoft)
https://forum.xanasoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&p=286&sid=9cf2f71a2f4858e3571921de5de79bd3#p286
Is there a way to get 'Update Manager' to search for updates and notifiy me before downloading and installing?
Thanks for your help!
