Everytime I logged into MSUPDATES it gives me
the "Administrators only" error message. I am not logged
in as admin i am loged in to a regular account that does
not have admin rights. it is not part of a domain either.

I have read "Administrators Only" Error Message When You
Attempt to Use the Windows Update Site knowledgenase
article. this did nothing I have went into gpedit.msc and
mad all the appropriate changes that are needed for non
admins to recieve updates. NOTHING IS WORKING. Please any
help is welcomed!


thanks in advance

Hello

You need to logon with an administrator level account to use Windows
Update. This is because its purpose is to install software on your
machine. Only administrators have the necessary rights. Have you tried
windows update while logged on as the local administrator instead of your
low rights user?

Thank you
