Why is windows updates not working?

So I setup windows updates etc etc but when you click 'check for updates' it just "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because updates on this computer are controlled by your system administrator"

So naturally first step is RSOP to see what is even being applied. I slowly analyze the results and I get nothing. Apparently there's nothing in there even remotely similar to updates. I run Group policy wizard and it also doesnt really stand out. I jump into the registries which I happen to know the win update ones anyway. Nothing wrong here. I poke around at gpresult /H and still nothing.

I eventually go to the group policy themselves because something is being applied that isnt being picked up by gpresult, rsop, nor group policy modeler. I eventually found it. Previous IT people had this enabled.

I had actually read this gpo previously and I even effectively signed off on this occasionally.

WINDOWS AUTOMATIC UPDATES IS ENABLED! GOOD.

Opps. Fuck you Microsoft it's shit like this that pisses me off.
