I signed on XP Pro SP3 as an administrator but you cannot change the timing of Windows Update to 03:00. All options are not enabled. How can I change the time that updates are made?
Hi imoffshore,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.
We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.
· When was the last time it worked?

· You have security software installed on the computer?
· You get the error message?
When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

- Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
- Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy
The options available for automatic updates.
You must make some changes in the windows registry.
Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.
